Understanding large-scale structure in the SSA22 protocluster region using cosmological simulations
Michael W. Topping, Alice E. Shapley, Charles C. Steidel +2
We investigate the nature and evolution of large-scale structure within the SSA22 protocluster region at using cosmological simulations. A redshift histogram constructed f…
Investigating the Binarity of S0-2: Implications for its Origins and Robustness as a Probe of the Laws of Gravity around a Supermassive Black Hole
Devin S. Chu, Tuan Do, Aurelien Hees +8
The star S0-2, which orbits the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in our Galaxy with a period of 16 years, provides the strongest constraint on both the mass of the SMBH and the dista…
Eclipsing Stellar Binaries in the Galactic Center
Gongjie Li, Idan Ginsburg, Smadar Naoz +1
Compact stellar binaries are expected to survive in the dense environment of the Galactic Center. The stable binaries may undergo Kozai-Lidov oscillations due to perturbations from…
The Post-Periapse Evolution of Galactic Center Source G1: The second case of a resolved tidal interaction with a supermassive black hole
Gunther Witzel, Breann. N. Sitarski, Andrea M. Ghez +13
We present new Adaptive Optics (AO) imaging and spectroscopic measurements of Galactic Center source G1 from W. M. Keck Observatory. Our goal is to understand its nature and relati…
Roche-lobe overflow in eccentric planet-star systems
Fani Dosopoulou, Smadar Naoz, Vassiliki Kalogera
Many giant exoplanets are found near their Roche limit and in mildly eccentric orbits. In this study we examine the fate of such planets through Roche-lobe overflow as a function o…
Black Hole Mergers in Galactic Nuclei Induced by the Eccentric Kozai-Lidov Effect
Bao-Minh Hoang, Smadar Naoz, Bence Kocsis +2
Nuclear star clusters around massive black holes are expected to be abundant in stellar mass black holes and black hole binaries. These binaries form a hierarchical triple system w…
