The S2 orbit and tidally disrupted binaries: indications for collisional depletion in the Galactic center
Yotam Ashkenazy, Shmuel Balberg
The properties of the stellar cluster surrounding Sagittarius A* can be assessed indirectly through the motion of the S-stars. Specifically, the current accuracy to which the progr…

The non-equilibrium Marshak wave problem in non-homogeneous media
Nitay Derei, Shmuel Balberg, Shay I. Heizler +3
We derive a family of similarity solutions to the nonlinear non-equilibrium Marshak wave problem for an inhomogeneous planar medium which is coupled to a time dependent radiation d…

The Primary Flare Following a Stellar Collision in a Galactic Nucleus
Yuval Brutman, Elad Steinberg, Shmuel Balberg
High-velocity stellar collisions near supermassive black holes may result in a complete disruption of the stars. The initial disruption can have energies on par with supernovae and…
