Black Hole Growth from Cosmological N-body Simulations
Miroslav Micic, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Steinn Sigurdsson
(Abridged) We use high resolution cosmological N-body simulations to study the growth of intermediate to supermassive black holes from redshift 49 to zero. We track the growth of b…
Gravitational Wave Recoil and the Retention of Intermediate Mass Black Holes
Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Kayhan Gultekin, Deirdre Shoemaker +1
During the inspiral and merger of a binary black hole, gravitational radiation is emitted anisotropically due to asymmetries in the merger configuration. This anisotropic radiation…
Relativistic Effects in Extreme Mass Ratio Gravitational Wave Bursts
Nicolas Yunes, Carlos F. Sopuerta, Louis J. Rubbo +1
Extreme mass ratio bursts (EMRBs) have been proposed as a possible source for future space-borne gravitational wave detectors, such as the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA)…
Supermassive Black Hole Growth and Merger Rates from Cosmological N-body Simulations
Miroslav Micic, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Steinn Sigurdsson +1
Understanding how seed black holes grow into intermediate and supermassive black holes (IMBHs and SMBHs, respectively) has important implications for the duty-cycle of active galac…
A Full Loss Cone For Triaxial Galaxies
Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Steinn Sigurdsson
Stars and compact objects that plunge toward a black hole are either 1) captured, emitting gravitational waves as the orbit decays, 2) tidally disrupted, leaving a disc of baryonic…
Hypervelocity intracluster stars ejected by supermassive black hole binaries
Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Steinn Sigurdsson, J. Christopher Mihos +3
Hypervelocity stars have been recently discovered in the outskirts of galaxies, such as the unbound star in the Milky Way halo, or the three anomalously fast intracluster planetary…
