Unstable Mass Transfer from a Main-Sequence Star to a Supermassive Black Hole and Quasi-Periodic Eruptions
Itai Linial, Re'em Sari
We discuss the formation and evolution of systems comprised of a low-mass () main sequence star, orbiting a supermassi…
Quasi-Periodic Erupters: A Stellar Mass-Transfer Model for the Radiation
Julian H. Krolik, Itai Linial
Quasi-Periodic Erupters (QPEs) are a remarkable class of objects exhibiting very large amplitude quasi-periodic X-ray flares. Although numerous dynamical models have been proposed…
Stellar Distributions Around a Supermassive Black Hole: Strong Segregation Regime Revisited
Itai Linial, Re'em Sari
We present a new analytical solution to the steady-state distribution of stars close to a central supermassive black hole of mass in the center of a galaxy. Assuming…
The Formation of Intermediate Mass Black Holes in Galactic Nuclei
Sanaea C. Rose, Smadar Naoz, Re'em Sari +1
Most stellar evolution models predict that black holes (BHs) should not exist above approximately M, the lower limit of the pair-instability mass gap. However, rece…
