When bars and spirals conspire: recurrent build-up of the nuclear regions of disc galaxies
Tristan Boin, Sergey Khoperskov, Paola Di Matteo +6
The assembly history of the central regions of disc galaxies is regulated by dynamical processes that trigger gas infall events, leading to active star formation in nuclear stellar…
Intermediate-mass black hole seeding in galactic nuclei from star cluster migration
Stefano Torniamenti, Nils Hoyer, Nadine Neumayer +2
Nuclear star clusters are one of the most favorable sites to host hierarchical black hole (BH) mergers, potentially bridging the gap from stellar-mass to massive BHs. However, thei…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Mapping formation pathways of nuclear star clusters across galaxies
Francesca Pinna, Isabel Pérez, Anna Ferré-Mateu +21
Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are dense, compact stellar systems only a few parsecs across, located at galaxy centers. Their small sizes make them difficult to resolve spatially. NS…
The Nuclear Star Cluster of M 74: a fossil record of the very early stages of a star-forming galaxy
Francesca Pinna, Nils Hoyer, Jairo Méndez Abreu +13
Nuclear star clusters (NSC) are dense and compact stellar systems, of sizes of few parsecs, located at galactic centers. Their properties and formation mechanisms seem to be tightl…
Rapid formation of a very massive star >50000 and subsequently an IMBH from runaway collisions. Direct N-body and Monte Carlo simulations of dense star clusters
Marcelo C. Vergara, Abbas Askar, Albrecht W. H. Kamlah +15
Context. We present simulations of a massive young star cluster using \textsc{Nbody6++GPU} and \textsc{MOCCA}. The cluster is initially more compact than previously published model…
Massive Star Clusters in the Semi-Analytical Galaxy Formation Model L-Galaxies 2020
Nils Hoyer, Silvia Bonoli, Nate Bastian +7
It is established that there exists a direct link between the formation history of star cluster populations and their host galaxies. However, our lack of understanding of the assem…
Efficiency of black hole formation via collisions in stellar systems: An analysis of data from simulations and observations
M. C. Vergara, D. R. G. Schleicher, A. Escala +7
This paper explores the theoretical relation between star clusters and black holes within, focusing on the potential role of nuclear star clusters (NSCs), globular clusters (GCs),…
Massive black holes in nuclear star clusters: Investigation with SRG/eROSITA X-ray data
Nils Hoyer, Riccardo Arcodia, Silvia Bonoli +4
Massive black holes (MBHs) are typically hosted in the centres of massive galaxies but they appear to become rarer in lower mass galaxies, where nuclear star clusters (NSCs) freque…
Demographics of Tidal Disruption Events with L-Galaxies: I. Volumetric TDE rates and the abundance of Nuclear Star Clusters
M. Polkas, S. Bonoli, E. Bortolas +5
Stars can be ripped apart by tidal forces in the vicinity of a massive black hole (MBH), causing luminous flares known as tidal disruption events (TDEs). These events could be cont…
Serendipitous Nebular-phase JWST Imaging of SN Ia 2021aefx: Testing the Confinement of 56-Co Decay Energy
Ness Mayker Chen, Michael A. Tucker, Nils Hoyer +29
We present new 0.3-21 micron photometry of SN 2021aefx in the spiral galaxy NGC 1566 at +357 days after B-band maximum, including the first detection of any SN Ia at >15 micron. Th…
Photometric and Structural Parameters of Newly Discovered Nuclear Star Clusters in Local Volume Galaxies
Nils Hoyer, Nadine Neumayer, Anil C. Seth +2
We use high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope imaging data of dwarf galaxies in the Local Volume ( Mpc) to parameterise 19 newly discovered nuclear star clusters (NSCs…
The PHANGS-JWST Treasury Survey: Star Formation, Feedback, and Dust Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS
Janice C. Lee, Karin M. Sandstrom, Adam K. Leroy +74
The PHANGS collaboration has been building a reference dataset for the multi-scale, multi-phase study of star formation and the interstellar medium in nearby galaxies. With the suc…
PHANGS-JWST First Results: A combined HST and JWST analysis of the nuclear star cluster in NGC 628
Nils Hoyer, Francesca Pinna, Albrecht W. H. Kamlah +28
We combine archival HST and new JWST imaging data, covering the ultraviolet to mid-infrared regime, to morphologically analyze the nuclear star cluster (NSC) of NGC 628, a grand-de…
The black hole population in low-mass galaxies in large-scale cosmological simulations
Houda Haidar, Melanie Habouzit, Marta Volonteri +8
Recent systematic searches for massive black holes (BHs) in local dwarf galaxies led to the discovery of a population of faint Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We investigate the agre…
The nucleation fraction of Local Volume galaxies
Nils Hoyer, Nadine Neumayer, Iskren Y. Georgiev +2
Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are a common phenomenon in galaxy centres and are found in a vast majority of galaxies of intermediate stellar mass M. Recent invest…
3C 294 revisited: Deep Large Binocular Telescope AO NIR images and optical spectroscopy
J. Heidt, A. Quirrenbach, N. Hoyer +11
Context. High redshift radio galaxies are among the most massive galaxies at their redshift, are often found at the center of protoclusters of galaxies, and are expected to evolve…
