Formation and Hardening of Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Minor Mergers of Disk Galaxies
Fazeel Mahmood Khan, Ingo Berentzen, Peter Berczik +4
We model for the first time the complete orbital evolution of a pair of Supermassive Black Holes (SMBHs) in a 1:10 galaxy merger of two disk dominated gas-rich galaxies, from the s…
Mergers of Unequal Mass Galaxies: Supermassive Black Hole Binary Evolution and Structure of Merger Remnants
Fazeel Mahmood Khan, Miguel Preto, Peter Berczik +3
Galaxy centers are residing places for Super Massive Black Holes (SMBHs). Galaxy mergers bring SMBHs close together to form gravitationally bound binary systems which, if able to c…
Efficient Merger of Binary Supermassive Black Holes in Merging Galaxies
Fazeel Khan, Andreas Just, David Merritt
In spherical galaxies, binary supermassive black holes (SMBHs) have difficulty reaching sub-parsec separations due to depletion of stars on orbits that intersect the massive binary…
Dynamical friction of massive objects in galactic centres
A. Just, F. M. Khan, P. Berczik +2
Dynamical friction leads to an orbital decay of massive objects like young compact star clusters or Massive Black Holes in central regions of galaxies. The dynamical friction force…
