Extreme Mass-Ratio Inspirals in Active Galactic Nucleus Disks: The Role of Circumsingle Disks
Ya-Ping Li, Huan Yang, Zhen Pan
In this work, we numerically explore the dynamics of a point mass (e.g., a stellar-mass black hole) moving within a thin accretion disk of a massive object (i.e., a supermassive bl…

Micro-Tidal Disruption Events at Galactic Centers
Xinyu Li, Houyi Sun, Yuan-Chuan Zou +1
This work explores a scenario for micro-tidal disruption events (TDEs) triggered by close encounters between high-speed white dwarfs (WDs) and stellar-mass black holes (sBHs) in ga…
