The Irreversible Depletion of Dark Matter Spikes by Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals
Charlie Sharpe, Yonadav Barry Ginat, Thomas F. M. Spieksma +2
Dense dark matter spikes around massive black holes (MBHs) have been widely predicted to produce gravitational-wave dephasing in extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) that are poten…
On the rates of binary star collisions around hypermassive black holes
Megha Sharma, Alexander Heger, Evgeni Grishin +1
Observations of the Milky Way show that galaxies have binary stars in their centres. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we model the population statistics of encounters of such binarie…
Are most detected tidal disruption events partial?
Megha Sharma, Daniel J. Price, Alexander Heger +1
During a tidal disruption event (TDE), a star loses mass due to the tidal gravitational forces of the black hole. In a partial tidal disruption event, a stellar remnant is left beh…
A benchmark for binary star interaction with a supermassive black hole in general relativity
Megha Sharma, Alexander Heger, Daniel J. Price +4
Most galaxies have supermassive black holes (SMBH) at their centres, surrounded by stars with binary systems also present in this environment. We use two schemes - post-Newtonian (…
The deci-Hz gravitational wave signal from the collapse of rotating very massive stars
Bailey Sykes, Jade Powell, Bernhard Müller +1
We calculate the gravitational wave signal from the collapse of a rotating 300 star at the upper end of the pair-instability regime. The large-scale asymmetries that deve…
