Flat Galactic Rotation Curves Interpreted as Evidence for the Mach's Principle

Andres Escala

We explore the possibility of a Machian interpretation for the phenomena associated with asymptotically flat rotation curves in disk galaxies, providing an alternative to both the…

Feedback from intermediate mass black holes on dwarf galaxy morphology at z=2

Da Bi, Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Andres Escala

This study investigates the influence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) on galactic morphology, focusing on their evolution within dwarf galaxies at high redshift (z~2). Usi…

Efficiency of black hole formation via collisions in stellar systems: An analysis of data from simulations and observations

M. C. Vergara, D. R. G. Schleicher, A. Escala +7

This paper explores the theoretical relation between star clusters and black holes within, focusing on the potential role of nuclear star clusters (NSCs), globular clusters (GCs),…

Origin of supermassive black holes: predictions for the black hole population

M. Liempi, L. Almonacid, D. R. G. Schleicher +1

The presence of supermassive black holes at redshift z > 6 raises some questions about their formation and growth in the early universe. Due to the construction of new telescopes l…

Global instability by runaway collisions in nuclear stellar clusters: Numerical tests of a route for massive black hole formation

M. C. Vergara, A. Escala, D. R. G. Schleicher +1

The centres of galaxies host nuclear stellar clusters, supermassive black holes, or both. The origin of this dichotomy is still a mystery. Nuclear stellar clusters are the densest…

Black hole fueling in galaxy mergers: A high-resolution analysis

Joaquín Prieto, Andrés Escala, George Privon +1

Using parsec scale resolution hydrodynamical adaptive mesh refinement simulations we have studied the mass transport process throughout a galactic merger. The aim of such study is…
