Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Formation from Hierarchical Mergers in Galactic Nuclei
Amanda Newton, Sanaea C. Rose, Fulya Kıroğlu +2
Dense stellar environments like nuclear star clusters (NSCs) can dynamically assemble gravitational wave (GW) sources. We consider a population of single stellar mass black holes (…
Detecting gravitational-wave bursts from black hole binaries in the Galactic Center with LISA
Alan M. Knee, Jess McIver, Smadar Naoz +3
Stellar-mass black hole binaries (BHBs) in galactic nuclei are gravitationally perturbed by the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) of the host galaxy, potentially inducing stro…
Natal Kicks from the Galactic Center and Implications on their Environment and the Roman Space Telescope
Carlos Jurado, Smadar Naoz, Casey Y. Lam +1
Most galaxies, including the Milky Way, harbor a central supermassive black hole (SMBH) weighing millions to billions of solar masses. Surrounding these SMBHs are dense regions of…
Binary Natal Kicks in the Galactic Center: X-ray Binaries, Hypervelocity Stars, and Gravitational Waves
Bao-Minh Hoang, Smadar Naoz, Melodie Sloneker
Theoretical and observational studies suggest that stellar binaries exist in large numbers in galactic nuclei like our own Galactic Center. Neutron stars (NSs), and debatedly, blac…
Gravitational-Wave Signatures from Compact Object Binaries in the Galactic Center
Huiyi Wang, Alexander P. Stephan, Smadar Naoz +2
Almost every galaxy has a supermassive black hole (SMBH) residing at its center, the Milky Way included. Recent studies suggest that these unique places are expected to host a high…
Neutron Star-Black Hole Mergers from Gravitational Wave Captures
Bao-Minh Hoang, Smadar Naoz, Kyle Kremer
LIGO's third observing run (O3) has reported several neutron star-black hole (NSBH) merger candidates. From a theoretical point of view, NSBH mergers have received less attention i…
Detecting Kozai-Lidov imprints on the gravitational waves of intermediate-mass black holes in galactic nuclei
Barnabás Deme, Bao-Minh Hoang, Smadar Naoz +1
A third object in the vicinity of a binary system causes variations in the eccentricity and the inclination of the binary through the Kozai-Lidov effect. We examine if such variati…
Detecting Supermassive Black Hole-Induced Binary Eccentricity Oscillations with LISA
Bao-Minh Hoang, Smadar Naoz, Bence Kocsis +2
Stellar-mass black hole binaries (BHBs) near supermassive black holes (SMBH) in galactic nuclei undergo eccentricity oscillations due to gravitational perturbations from the SMBH.…
Hidden Planetary Friends: On the Stability Of 2-Planet Systems in the Presence of a Distant, Inclined Companion
Paul Denham, Smadar Naoz, Bao-Minh Hoang +2
Recent observational campaigns have shown that multi-planet systems seem to be abundant in our Galaxy. Moreover, it seems that these systems might have distant companions, either p…
Black Hole Mergers in Galactic Nuclei Induced by the Eccentric Kozai-Lidov Effect
Bao-Minh Hoang, Smadar Naoz, Bence Kocsis +2
Nuclear star clusters around massive black holes are expected to be abundant in stellar mass black holes and black hole binaries. These binaries form a hierarchical triple system w…
