Probing Formation Channels of Extreme Mass-Ratio Inspirals
Houyi Sun, Ya-Ping Li, Zhen Pan +1
The population study of stellar-mass black hole (sBH) binaries with ground-based gravitational wave detection has achieved tremendous success in recent years. Future observation of…
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…
Mean-Motion Resonances With Interfering Density Waves
Huan Yang, Ya-Ping Li
In this work, we study the dynamics of two less massive objects moving around a central massive object, which are all embedded within a thin accretion disc. In addition to the grav…
