Revisiting dynamical friction: the role of global modes and local wakes
Tomas Tamfal, Lucio Mayer, Thomas R. Quinn +4
The orbital decay of a perturber within a larger system plays a key role in the dynamics of many astrophysical systems -- from nuclear star clusters or globular clusters in galaxie…
Formation of LISA Black Hole Binaries in Merging Dwarf Galaxies: the Imprint of Dark Matter
Tomas Tamfal, Pedro R. Capelo, Stelios Kazantzidis +4
Theoretical models for the expected merger rates of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are vital for planned gravitational-wave detection experiments such as the Laser Interfero…
Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap
Leor Barack, Vitor Cardoso, Samaya Nissanke +203
The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics---dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-…
The Effects of Ram-pressure Stripping and Supernova Winds on the Tidal Stirring of Disky Dwarfs: Enhanced Transformation into Dwarf Spheroidals
Stelios Kazantzidis, Lucio Mayer, Simone Callegari +2
A conclusive model for the formation of dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies still remains elusive. Owing to their proximity to the massive spirals Milky Way (MW) and M31, various envi…
Black Hole Starvation and Bulge Evolution in a Milky Way-like Galaxy
Silvia Bonoli, Lucio Mayer, Stelios Kazantzidis +3
We present a new zoom-in hydrodynamical simulation, "Erisbh", which follows the cosmological evolution and feedback effects of a supermassive black hole at the center of a Milky Wa…
Orbital Decay of Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Clumpy Multiphase Merger Remnants
R. Roškar, L. Mayer, D. Fiacconi +3
We simulate an equal-mass merger of two Milky Way-size galaxy discs with moderate gas fractions at parsec-scale resolution including a new model for radiative cooling and heating i…
