Overlapping Inflow Events as Catalysts for Supermassive Black Hole Growth
Juan Manuel Carmona-Loaiza, Monica Colpi, Massimo Dotti +1
One of the greatest issues in modelling black hole fuelling is our lack of understanding of the processes by which gas loses angular momentum and falls from galactic scales down to…
Massive black hole pairs in clumpy, self-gravitating circumnuclear disks: stochastic orbital decay
Davide Fiacconi, Lucio Mayer, Rok Roskar +1
We study the dynamics of massive black hole pairs in clumpy gaseous circumnuclear disks. We track the orbital decay of the light, secondary black hole orbiting aroun…
The Gravitational Universe
The eLISA Consortium, :, P. Amaro Seoane +158
The last century has seen enormous progress in our understanding of the Universe. We know the life cycles of stars, the structure of galaxies, the remnants of the big bang, and hav…
The merger fraction of active and inactive galaxies in the local Universe through an improved non-parametric classification
Stefano Cotini, Emanuele Ripamonti, Alessandro Caccianiga +5
We investigate the possible link between mergers and the enhanced activity of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centre of galaxies, by comparing the merger fraction of a loca…
