Supermassive black hole binaries in gaseous and stellar circumnuclear discs: orbital dynamics and gas accretion
M. Dotti, M. Colpi, F. Haardt +1
The dynamics of two massive black holes in a rotationally supported nuclear disc of 10^8 solar masses is explored using N-Body/SPH simulations. Gas and star particles are co-presen…
The radial distribution of blue straggler stars and the nature of their progenitors
M. Mapelli, S. Sigurdsson, F. R. Ferraro +3
The origin of blue straggler stars (BSS) in globular clusters (GCs) is still not fully understood: they can form from stellar collisions, or through mass transfer in isolated, prim…
On the compact nature of the most luminous ULX in the Cartwheel ring
A. Wolter, G. Trinchieri, M. Colpi
We report the first detection of flux variability in the most luminous X-ray source in the southern ring of the Cartwheel galaxy. XMM--Newton data show that the luminosity has vari…
On the search of electromagnetic cosmological counterparts to coalescences of massive black hole binaries
M. Dotti, R. Salvaterra, A. Sesana +2
We explore the nature of possible electromagnetic counterparts of coalescences of massive black hole binaries at cosmological distances detectable by the Laser Interferometer Space…
