Trojan Stars in the Galactic Center
Michiko Fujii, Masaki Iwasawa, Yoko Funato +1
We performed, for the first time, the simulation of spiral-in of a star cluster formed close to the Galactic center (GC) using a fully self-consistent -body model. In our model,…
Evolution of Massive Blackhole Triples II -- The effect of the BH triples dynamics on the structure of the galactic nuclear
Masaki Iwasawa, Yoko Funato, Junichiro Makino
In this paper, we investigate the structures of galaxies which either have or have had three BHs using -body simulations, and compare them with those of galaxies with binary BHs…
Evolution of Star Clusters near the Galactic Center: Fully Self-consistent N-body Simulations
M. Fujii, M. Iwasawa, Y. Funato +1
We have performed fully self-consistent -body simulations of star clusters near the Galactic center (GC). Such simulations have not been performed because it is difficult to per…
BRIDGE: A Direct-tree Hybrid N-body Algorithm for Fully Self-consistent Simulations of Star Clusters and their Parent Galaxies
M. Fujii, M. Iwasawa, Y. Funato +1
We developed a new direct-tree hybrid N-body algorithm for fully self-consistent N-body simulations of star clusters in their parent galaxies. In such simulations, star clusters ne…
Evolution of Massive Blackhole Triples I -- Equal-mass binary-single systems
Masaki Iwasawa, Yoko Funato, Junichiro Makino
We present the result of -body simulations of dynamical evolution of triple massive blackhole (BH) systems in galactic nuclei. We found that in most cases two of the three BHs m…
