Dynamics in Nuclear Stellar Clusters: The Impact of Collisions and Disrupted Binaries

Barak Rom, Re'em Sari

The nuclear stellar clusters surrounding supermassive black holes (SMBHs) host millions of stars and stellar remnants. We study how stellar collisions and binary disruptions, along…

Red Giant Destruction by Stellar and Black Hole Collisions in Galactic Nuclei

Barak Rom, Eliot Quataert

We study the impact of collisions involving red giants (RGs) in the dense stellar environments of galactic nuclei. We analytically estimate when collisions with main-sequence stars…

Universal Waveforms for Extreme Mass-Ratio Inspiral

Ilan Strusberg, Barak Rom, Re'em Sari

We engage with the challenge of calculating the waveforms of gravitational waves emitted by spinless binary black hole merger in extreme mass-ratio limit. We model the stellar-mass…

Mass Segregation and Transient Formation in Nuclear Stellar Clusters

Barak Rom, Re'em Sari

Supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies occasionally disrupt stars or consume stellar-mass black holes (BHs) that wander too close, producing observable electromagnetic…

Semi-Analytical Fokker Planck Models for Nuclear Star Clusters

Karamveer Kaur, Barak Rom, Re'em Sari

We study the dynamics of nuclear star clusters, the dense stellar environments surrounding massive black holes in the centers of galaxies. We consider angular momentum diffusion du…

Dynamics around supermassive black holes: Extreme mass-ratio inspirals as gravitational-wave sources

Barak Rom, Itai Linial, Karamveer Kaur +1

Supermassive black holes and their surrounding dense stellar environments nourish a variety of astrophysical phenomena. We focus on the distribution of stellar-mass black holes aro…
