LOFT: the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing
M. Feroci, J. W. den Herder, E. Bozzo +245
The LOFT mission concept is one of four candidates selected by ESA for the M3 launch opportunity as Medium Size missions of the Cosmic Vision programme. The launch window is curren…
Tidal torque induced by orbital decay in compact object binaries
Simone Dall'Osso, Elena M. Rossi
As we observe in the moon-earth system, tidal interactions in binary systems can lead to angular momentum exchange. The presence of viscosity is generally regarded as the condition…
Ejection and Capture Dynamics in Restricted Three-Body Encounters
Shiho Kobayashi, Yanir Hainick, Re'em Sari +1
We study the tidal disruption of binaries by a massive point mass (e.g. the black hole at the Galactic center), and we discuss how the ejection and capture preference between unequ…
High-redshift formation and evolution of central massive objects II: The census of BH seeds
B. Devecchi, M. Volonteri, E. M. Rossi +2
We present results of simulations aimed at tracing the formation of nuclear star clusters (NCs) and black hole (BH) seeds, in a cosmological context. We focus on two mechanisms for…
