Massive black hole binary mergers within sub-pc scale gas discs
J. Cuadra, P. J. Armitage, R. D. Alexander +1
[ABRIDGED] We study supermassive black hole binary mergers driven by angular momentum loss to small-scale gas discs. Such binaries form after major galaxy mergers, but their fate i…

Binary formation and mass function variations in fragmenting discs with short cooling times
R. D. Alexander, P. J. Armitage, J. Cuadra
Accretion discs at sub-pc distances around supermassive black holes are likely to cool rapidly enough that self-gravity results in fragmentation. Here, we use high-resolution hydro…
