Challenges in the modelling of tidal disruption events lightcurves
Giuseppe Lodato
In this contribution, I review the recent developments on the modelling of the lightcurve of tidal disruption events. Our understanding has evolved significantly from the earlier s…
Black hole mergers: do gas discs lead to spin alignment?
Giuseppe Lodato, Davide Gerosa
In this Letter we revisit arguments suggesting that the Bardeen-Petterson effect can coalign the spins of a central supermassive black hole binary accreting from a circumbinary (or…
LOFT: the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing
M. Feroci, J. W. den Herder, E. Bozzo +245
The LOFT mission concept is one of four candidates selected by ESA for the M3 launch opportunity as Medium Size missions of the Cosmic Vision programme. The launch window is curren…
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…
Response of a circumbinary accretion disc to black hole mass loss
Giovanni P. Rosotti, Giuseppe Lodato, Daniel J. Price
We investigate the evolution of the surface density of a circumbinary accretion disc after the mass loss induced by the merger of two supermassive black holes. We first introduce a…
Revised analysis of SPIRE observations for 2M1207
B. Riaz, G. Lodato, D. Stamatellos +1
We have revised our analysis of the SPIRE observations of 2MASSW J1207334-393254 (2M1207). Recent PACS observations show a bright source located ~25" east of 2M1207. There are issu…
