Dynamical Evolution of Elliptical Galaxies with Central Singularities
David Merritt, Gerald Quinlan
We study the effect of a massive central singularity on the structure of a triaxial galaxy using N-body simulations. Starting from a single initial model, we grow black holes with…

The dynamical evolution of massive black hole binaries - II. Self-consistent N-body integrations
Gerald D. Quinlan, Lars Hernquist
We use a hybrid N-body program to study the evolution of massive black hole binaries in the centers of galaxies, mainly to understand the factors affecting the binary eccentricity,…

New evidence for a massive black hole at the centre of the quiescent galaxy M32
R. P. van der Marel, P. T. de Zeeuw, H. W. Rix +1
Massive black holes are thought to reside at the centres of many galaxies, where they power quasars and active galactic nuclei. But most galaxies are quiescent, indicating that any…
