The Influence of Disk Composition on the Evolution of Stars in the Disks of Active Galactic Nuclei

Disks of gas accreting onto supermassive black holes, powering active galactic nuclei (AGN), can capture stars from nuclear star clusters or form stars in situ via gravitational instability. The density and thermal conditions of these disks can result in rapid accretion onto embedded stars, dramatic...
