Taming the plunge: A circularization trap of supermassive black hole binaries
Pau Amaro Seoane, Alessandra Mastrobuono Battisti, Chingis Omarov +5
We investigate the orbital eccentricity evolution of supermassive black hole binaries within galactic environments. We analyze the dynamics in triaxial merger remnants and subseque…

A forest of gravitational waves in our Galactic Centre
Pau Amaro Seoane, Shao-Dong Zhao
At the Galactic Centre, we can expect a population of a few tens of early extreme-mass ratio inspirals (E-EMRIs) and extremely large mass ratio inspirals (XMRIs). Depending on thei…

Mono- and oligochromatic extreme-mass ratio inspirals
Pau Amaro Seoane, Yiren Lin, Kostas Tzanavaris
The gravitational capture of a stellar-mass object by a supermassive black hole represents a unique probe of warped spacetime. The small object, typically a stellar-mass black hole…
