Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals triggered by Massive Black Hole Binaries: from Relativistic Dynamics to Cosmological Rates
Giovanni Mazzolari, Matteo Bonetti, Alberto Sesana +4
Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are compact binary systems characterized by a mass-ratio in the range and represent primary gravitational wave (GW)…
The Influence of Black Hole Binarity on Tidal Disruption Events
Eric R. Coughlin, Philip J. Armitage, Giuseppe Lodato +1
Mergers are fundamental to the standard paradigm of galaxy evolution, and provide a natural formation mechanism for supermassive black hole binaries. The formation process of such…
Misaligned snowplough effect and the electromagnetic counterpart to black hole binary mergers
Fabrícia A. C. Pereira, Giuseppe Lodato, Irapuan Rodrigues +2
We estimate the accretion rates produced when a circumprimary gas disc is pushed into the primary supermassive black hole (SMBH) by the tidal force of the decaying secondary during…
Spin alignment and differential accretion in merging black hole binaries
Davide Gerosa, Benedetta Veronesi, Giuseppe Lodato +1
Interactions between a supermassive black hole binary and the surrounding accretion disc can both assist the binary inspiral and align the black hole spins to the disc angular mome…
HST measures of Mass Accretion Rates in the Orion Nebula Cluster
C. F. Manara, M. Robberto, N. Da Rio +4
The present observational understanding of the evolution of the mass accretion rates (Macc) in pre-main sequence stars is limited by the lack of accurate measurements of Macc over…
The effects of opacity on gravitational stability in protoplanetary discs
Peter Cossins, Giuseppe Lodato, Cathie Clarke
In this paper we consider the effects of opacity regimes on the stability of self-gravitating protoplanetary discs to fragmentation into bound objects. Using a self-consistent 1-D…
