Abstract

This upload contains the simulation outputs for McPike et al. (2026), "McFACTS IV: Electromagnetic Counterparts to AGN Disk Embedded Binary Black Hole Mergers" (arXiv:2602.04135, accepted to ApJ). Simulation runs were generated with McFACTS (Monte carlo For AGN Channel Testing and Simulation). 24 simulation runs corresponding to parameters varied in McPike et al. (2026): disk model, disk lifetime, disk size (only for Sirko-Goodman disk runs), disk turbulence, black hole initial mass function, and initial black hole spin. The files shared here are the outputs of specific simulations and the input parameters for those runs. output_mergers_population_[disk_model]_[param].dat: all resulting binary black hole mergers for a given run, specified by disk model name and parameter varied, containing binary component and remnant properties (mass, spin, generation, merger location, etc. see https://github.com/mcfacts/mcfacts for more documentation). pem_[disk_model]_[param].ini: the exact input parameters for a given run. McFACTS simulation code is available at github.com/mcfacts/mcfacts. Post-processing scripts used to generate plots for this paper are archived at ...
