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…
Density Wakes due to Dynamical Friction in Cored Potentials
Karamveer Kaur, Nicholas C. Stone
Dynamical friction is often modeled with reasonable accuracy by the widely used Chandrasekhar formula. However, in some circumstances, Chandrasekhar's local and uniform approximati…
Stalling of Globular Cluster Orbits in Dwarf Galaxies
Karamveer Kaur, S. Sridhar
We apply the Tremaine-Weinberg theory of dynamical friction to compute the orbital decay of a globular cluster (GC), on an initially circular orbit inside a cored spherical galaxy…
Secular Instabilities of Keplerian Stellar Discs
Karamveer Kaur, Mher Kazandjian, S. Sridhar +1
We present idealized models of a razor-thin, axisymmetric, Keplerian stellar disc around a massive black hole, and study non-axisymmetric secular instabilities in the absence of ei…
Deformation of the Galactic Centre stellar cusp due to the gravity of a growing gas disc
Karamveer Kaur, S. Sridhar
The nuclear star cluster surrounding the massive black hole at the Galactic Centre consists of young and old stars, with most of the stellar mass in an extended, cuspy distribution…
