Analysis of Kozai Cycles in Equal-Mass Hierarchical Triple Supermassive Black Hole Mergers in the Presence of a Stellar Cluster
Wei Hao, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, Rainer Spurzem +3
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) play an important role in galaxy evolution. Binary and triple SMBHs can form after galaxy mergers. A third SMBH may accelerate the SMBH merging pro…
Using the motion of S2 to constrain vector clouds around SgrA*
GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Foschi, R. Abuter +53
The dark compact object at the centre of the Milky Way is well established to be a supermassive black hole with mass , but the nature…
Waveform Modelling for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
LISA Consortium Waveform Working Group, Niayesh Afshordi, Sarp Akçay +144
LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will usher in a new era in gravitational-wave astronomy. As the first anticipated space-based gravitational-wave detector, it will exp…
The look of high-velocity red-giant star collisions
Luc Dessart, Taeho Ryu, Pau Amaro Seoane +1
High-velocity stellar collisions driven by a supermassive black hole (BH) or BH-driven disruptive collisions, in dense, nuclear clusters can rival the energetics of supergiant star…
Polarimetry and Astrometry of NIR Flares as Event Horizon Scale, Dynamical Probes for the Mass of Sgr A*
The GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, N. Aimar +66
We present new astrometric and polarimetric observations of flares from Sgr A* obtained with GRAVITY, the near-infrared interferometer at ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer…
Underluminous tidal disruptions
Pau Amaro Seoane
We have evidence of X-ray flares in several galaxies consistent with a a star being tidally disrupted by a supermassive black hole (MBH). If the star starts on a nearly parabolic o…
Colliding red giants in galactic nuclei: Shocks, jets, impact on the ISM, X- and gamma-rays, neutrinos, fusion ignition and afterglow
Pau Amaro Seoane
In galactic nuclei, stellar densities are so high that stars can physically collide with each other. In this work we focus on the collision of red giants and in particular on the f…
Collisions of red giants in galactic nuclei
Taeho Ryu, Pau Amaro Seoane, Andrew M. Taylor +1
In stellar-dense environments, stars can collide with each other. For collisions close to a supermassive black hole (SMBH), the collisional kinetic energy can be so large that the…
Massive Black Hole Binaries as LISA Precursors in the Roman High Latitude Time Domain Survey
Zoltán Haiman, Chengcheng Xin, Tamara Bogdanović +27
With its capacity to observe faint active galactic nuclei (AGN) out to redshift , Roman is poised to reveal a population of b…
Where intermediate-mass black holes could hide in the Galactic Centre: A full parameter study with the S2 orbit
The GRAVITY Collaboration, O. Straub, M. Bauböck +59
In the Milky Way the central massive black hole, SgrA*, coexists with a compact nuclear star cluster that contains a sub-parsec concentration of fast-moving young stars called S-st…
