Dynamics around supermassive black holes: Extreme mass-ratio inspirals as gravitational-wave sources
Barak Rom, Itai Linial, Karamveer Kaur +1
Supermassive black holes and their surrounding dense stellar environments nourish a variety of astrophysical phenomena. We focus on the distribution of stellar-mass black holes aro…
Extreme-mass ratio inspirals in strong segregation regime -- to inspiral or to get ejected?
Karamveer Kaur, Hagai Perets
Extreme-mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) of stellar-mass black holes (BHs) are among the main targets for upcoming low-frequency gravitational wave (GW) detectors such as the Laser Int…
Semi-Analytical Fokker Planck Models for Nuclear Star Clusters
Karamveer Kaur, Barak Rom, Re'em Sari
We study the dynamics of nuclear star clusters, the dense stellar environments surrounding massive black holes in the centers of galaxies. We consider angular momentum diffusion du…
Elevated Rates of Tidal Disruption Events in Active Galactic Nuclei
Karamveer Kaur, Nicholas C. Stone
Advances in time domain astronomy have produced a growing population of flares from galactic nuclei, including both tidal disruption events (TDEs) and flares in active galactic nuc…
