An effective model for the tidal disruption of satellites undergoing minor mergers with axisymmetric primaries
Ludovica Varisco, Massimo Dotti, Matteo Bonetti +2
According to the hierarchical formation paradigm, galaxies form through mergers of smaller entities and massive black holes (MBHs), if lurking at their centers, migrate to the nucl…
Decomposing galaxies with BANG: an automated morpho-kinematical decomposition of the SDSS-DR17 MaNGA survey
Fabio Rigamonti, Massimo Dotti, Stefano Covino +4
From a purely photometric perspective galaxies are generally decomposed into a bulge+disc system, with bulges being dispersion-dominated and discs rotationally-supported. However,…
Stellar hardening of massive black hole binaries: the impact of the host rotation
Ludovica Varisco, Elisa Bortolas, Massimo Dotti +1
Massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) with masses of ~ 10^4 to ~ 10^10 of solar masses are one of the main targets for currently operating and forthcoming space-borne gravitational w…
AGN mass estimates in large spectroscopic surveys: the effect of host galaxy light
Ludovica Varisco, Tullia Sbarrato, Giorgio Calderone +1
Virial-based methods for estimating active supermassive black hole masses are now commonly used on extremely large spectroscopic quasar catalogues. Most spectral analyses, though,…
