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…
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…
Formation of Merging Stellar-Mass Black Hole Binaries by Gravitational Wave Emission in Active Galactic Nucleus Disks
Barak Rom, Re'em Sari, Dong Lai
Many stellar-mass Black Holes (sBHs) are expected to orbit supermassive black holes at galactic centers. For galaxies with Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), it is likely that the sBHs…
