Uncovering Hidden Massive Black Hole Companions with Tidal Disruption Events
Brenna Mockler, Denyz Melchor, Smadar Naoz +1
Dynamical perturbations from supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries can increase the rates of tidal disruption events (TDEs). However, most previous work focuses on TDEs from the…
Tidal disruption events from eccentric orbits and lessons learned from the noteworthy ASASSN-14ko
Chang Liu, Brenna Mockler, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +5
Stars grazing supermassive black holes (SMBHs) on bound orbits may survive tidal disruption, causing periodic flares. Inspired by the recent discovery of the periodic nuclear trans…
The Combined Effects of Two-Body Relaxation Processes and the Eccentric Kozai-Lidov Mechanism on the EMRI Rate
Smadar Naoz, Sanaea C. Rose, Erez Michaely +4
Gravitational wave (GW) emissions from extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are promising sources for low-frequency GW-detectors. They result from a compact object, such as a stell…
