Imprints of recoiling massive black-holes on the hot gas of early type galaxies
B. Devecchi, E. Rasia, M. Dotti +2
Anisotropic gravitational radiation from a coalescing black hole binary is known to impart recoil velocities of up to ~1000 km/s to the remnant black hole. In this context, we stud…

On the inspiral of Massive Black Holes in gas-rich galaxy mergers
M. Colpi, S. Callegari, M. Dotti +2
We present a study on the dynamics of massive BHs in galaxy mergers, obtained from a series of high-resolution N-Body/SPH simulations. The presence of a gaseous component is essent…
