Orbital structure of merger remnants: Trends with gas fraction in 1:1 mergers
Loren Hoffman, Thomas J. Cox, Suvendra Dutta +1
Since the violent relaxation in hierarchical merging is incomplete, elliptical galaxies retain a wealth of information about their formation pathways in their present-day orbital s…
Triplets of supermassive black holes: Astrophysics, Gravitational Waves and Detection
Pau Amaro-Seoane, Alberto Sesana, Loren Hoffman +4
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) found in the centers of many galaxies have been recognized to play a fundamental active role in the cosmological structure formation process. In hi…
The imprint of dissipation on the shapes of merger remnant LOSVDs
Loren K. Hoffman, Thomas J. Cox, Suvendra N. Dutta +1
The properties of elliptical galaxies are broadly consistent with simulated remnants of gas-rich mergers between spirals, motivating more detailed studies of the imprint of this fo…
Structure and Substructure of Galactic Spheroids
Aaron J. Romanowsky, Jean P. Brodie, James S. Bullock +6
The full spatio-chemo-dynamical structure of galaxies of all types and environments at low redshift provides a critical accompaniment to observations of galaxy formation at high re…
Dynamics of triple black hole systems in hierarchically merging massive galaxies
Loren Hoffman, Abraham Loeb
Galaxies with stellar bulges are generically observed to host supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The hierarchical merging of galaxies should therefore lead to the formation of SMBH…
Three-Body Kick to a Bright Quasar out of Its Galaxy During a Merger
Loren Hoffman, Abraham Loeb
The quasar HE0450-2958 was recently discovered to reside ~7kpc away from a galaxy that was likely disturbed by a recent merger. The lack of a massive spheroid of stars around the q…
