The Destruction of Thin Stellar Disks Via Cosmologically Common Satellite Accretion Events
Chris W. Purcell, Stelios Kazantzidis, James S. Bullock
Most Galaxy-sized systems (M_host ~ 10^12 M_sun) in the LCDM cosmology are expected to have accreted at least one satellite with a total mass M_sat ~ 10^11 M_sun = 3M_disk in the p…
Pairing of Supermassive Black Holes in unequal-mass mergers
S. Callegari, L. Mayer, S. Kazantzidis
Disk galaxies with a spheroidal component are known to host Supermassive Black Holes (SMBHs) in their center. Unequal-mass galaxy mergers have been rarely studied despite the fact…
Formation of Nuclear Disks and Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Multi-Scale Hydrodynamical Galaxy Mergers
Lucio Mayer, Stelios Kazantzidis, Andres Escala
(Abridged) We review the results of the first multi-scale, hydrodynamical simulations of mergers between galaxies with central supermassive black holes (SMBHs) to investigate the f…
The anatomy of Leo I: how tidal tails affect the kinematics
Ewa L. Lokas, Jaroslaw Klimentowski, Stelios Kazantzidis +1
We model the recently published kinematic data set for Leo I dSph galaxy by fitting the solutions of the Jeans equations to the velocity dispersion and kurtosis profiles measured f…
