The origin of the black hole offset in M31
Pierre Boldrini
Using state-of-the-art high-resolution fully GPU N-body simulations, we demonstrate for the first time that the infall of a dark matter rich satellite naturally explains a present…

Subhalo sinking and off-center massive black holes in dwarf galaxies
Pierre Boldrini, Roya Mohayaee, Joseph Silk
Using fully GPU -body simulations, we demonstrate for the first time that subhalos sink and transfer energy via dynamical friction into the centres of dwarf galaxies. This dynam…

Flattening of dark matter cusps during mergers: model of M31
Pierre Boldrini, Roya Mohayaee, Joseph Silk
We run high resolution fully GPU N-body simulations to demonstrate that the dark matter distribution in M31 is well-fitted by a core-like profile. Rich observational data especiall…
