Binary Disk interaction II: Gap-Opening criteria for unequal mass binaries
Luciano del Valle, Andres Escala
We study the interaction between an unequal mass binary with an isothermal circumbinary disk, motivated by the theoretical and observational evidence that after a major merger of g…
Near-infrared adaptive optics imaging of infrared luminous galaxies: the brightest cluster magnitude - star formation rate relation
Zara Randriamanakoto, Andres Escala, Petri Vaisanen +4
We have established a relation between the brightest super star cluster magnitude in a galaxy and the host star formation rate (SFR) for the first time in the near infrared (NIR).…
The Impact of Bound Stellar Orbits and General Relativity on the Temporal Behavior of Tidal Disruption Flares
Lixin Dai, Andres Escala, Paolo Coppi
We have carried out general relativistic particle simulations of stars tidally disrupted by massive black holes. When a star is disrupted in a bound orbit with moderate eccentricit…
