A recoiling supermassive black hole in a powerful quasar
Marco Chiaberge, Takahiro Morishita, Matteo Boschini +14
Supermassive black holes (SMBH) are thought to grow through accretion of matter and mergers. Models of SMBH mergers have long suffered the final parsec problem, where SMBH binaries…
Non-adiabatic dynamics of eccentric black-hole binaries in post-Newtonian theory
Giulia Fumagalli, Nicholas Loutrel, Davide Gerosa +1
Eccentric black-hole binaries are among the most awaited sources of gravitational waves, yet their dynamics lack a consistent framework that provides a detailed and physically robu…
LHS in LHS: A new expansion strategy for Latin hypercube sampling in simulation design
Matteo Boschini, Davide Gerosa, Alessandro Crespi +1
Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) is a prominent tool in simulation design, with a variety of applications in high-dimensional and computationally expensive problems. LHS allows for v…
Orbital eccentricity in general relativity from catastrophe theory
Matteo Boschini, Nicholas Loutrel, Davide Gerosa +1
While the orbital eccentricity is a key feature of the gravitational two-body problem, providing an unambiguous definition in general relativity poses significant challenges. Despi…
