The Irreversible Depletion of Dark Matter Spikes by Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals
Charlie Sharpe, Yonadav Barry Ginat, Thomas F. M. Spieksma +2
Dense dark matter spikes around massive black holes (MBHs) have been widely predicted to produce gravitational-wave dephasing in extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) that are poten…
Hydrodynamic Simulations of Eccentric Black Hole Encounters in AGN Discs
Andrew Imai, Henry Whitehead, Bence Kocsis
We investigate close encounters between stellar-mass black holes (BHs) in the gaseous discs of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), during which binary black holes (BBHs) may form. We pe…
Stellar discs and intermediate-mass black holes in galactic nuclei I. Fragmenting the disc in an isotropic stellar potential
Taras Panamarev, Xiang Zou, Bence Kocsis
The origin of the complex orbital structure of young massive stars at the Galactic centre remains an open question. If these stars formed in a single episode from a gaseous accreti…
