Eccentricity distribution of extreme mass ratio inspirals
Davide Mancieri, Luca Broggi, Morgan Vinciguerra +2
We present realistic eccentricity distributions for extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) forming via the two-body relaxation channel in nuclear star clusters, tracking their evolut…
Updated predictions for gravitational wave emission from TDEs for next generation observatories
Martina Toscani, Luca Broggi, Alberto Sesana +1
In this paper, we investigate the gravitational wave (GW) emission from stars tidally disrupted by black holes (TDEs), using a semi-analytical approach. Contrary to previous works…
Breaking boundaries: extending the orbit-averaged Fokker-Planck equation inside the loss cone
Luca Broggi
In this Letter, we present a new formulation of loss cone theory as a reaction-diffusion system, which accounts for loss cone events through a sink term and can be orbit-averaged.…
Hanging on the cliff: Extreme mass ratio inspiral formation with local two-body relaxation and post-Newtonian dynamics
Davide Mancieri, Luca Broggi, Matteo Bonetti +1
Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are anticipated to be primary gravitational wave sources for LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna). They form in dense nuclear clusters whe…
