Massive black hole binaries in gaseous nuclear discs
M. Dotti, M. Colpi, F. Haardt +1
We study the evolution of a massive black hole pair in a rotationally supported nuclear disc. The distributions of stars and gas mimic the nuclear region of a gas-rich galaxy merge…
In situ formation of the massive stars around SgrA*
M. Mapelli, T. Hayfield, L. Mayer +1
The formation of the massive young stars surrounding SgrA* is still an open question. In this paper, we simulate the infall of an isothermal, turbulent molecular cloud towards the…
The Formation of Galaxy Disks
F. Governato, L. Mayer, C. Brook
We present a new set of multi-million particle SPH simulations of the formation of disk dominated galaxies in a cosmological context. Some of these galaxies are higher resolution v…
Intermediate-mass black holes and ultraluminous X-ray sources in the Cartwheel ring galaxy
M. Mapelli, B. Moore, L. Giordano +4
Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the Cartwheel galaxy show ~17 bright X-ray sources (>~5x10^38 erg s^-1), all within the gas-rich outer ring. We explore the hypothesis that t…
Old and young bulges in late-type disk galaxies
C. M. Carollo, C. Scarlata, M. Stiavelli +2
ABRIDGED: We use HSTACS and NICMOS imaging to study the structure and colors of a sample of nine late-type spirals. We find: (1) A correlation between bulge and disks scale-lengths…
Morphological evolution of disk galaxies in clusters
Chiara Mastropietro, Ben Moore, Lucio Mayer +3
The recent discovery of hidden non-axysimmetric and disk-like structures in bright Virgo dwarf elliptical and lenticular galaxies (dE/dSph/dS0) indicates that they may have late-ty…
