Multimessenger prospects of quasi-periodic eruptions
Vojtěch Witzany, Alessia Franchini, Matteo Bonetti +1
Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are recurring soft X-ray transients that may be generated by inspirals of stellar-mass objects spiraling into supermassive black holes, known as ext…
Two-body relaxation in the EMRI-TDE disk model for Quasi Periodic Eruptions
Chiara Maria Allievi, Luca Broggi, Alberto Sesana +1
Quasi Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are luminous bursts of soft X-rays recently discovered in galactic nuclei. They repeat on timescales of hours to weeks, superimposed to an otherwise…
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…
Repeating partial disruptions and two-body relaxation
Luca Broggi, Nicholas C. Stone, Taeho Ryu +4
Two-body relaxation may drive stars onto near-radial orbits around a massive black hole, resulting in a tidal disruption event (TDE). In some circumstances, stars are unlikely to u…
Demographics of Tidal Disruption Events with L-Galaxies: I. Volumetric TDE rates and the abundance of Nuclear Star Clusters
M. Polkas, S. Bonoli, E. Bortolas +5
Stars can be ripped apart by tidal forces in the vicinity of a massive black hole (MBH), causing luminous flares known as tidal disruption events (TDEs). These events could be cont…
Extreme mass ratio inspirals and tidal disruption events in nuclear clusters. I. Time dependent rates
Luca Broggi, Elisa Bortolas, Matteo Bonetti +2
In this paper we develop a computationally efficient, two-population, time-dependent Fokker-Plank approach in the two dimensions of energy and angular momentum to study the rates o…
