High-redshift formation and evolution of central massive objects II: The census of BH seeds
B. Devecchi, M. Volonteri, E. M. Rossi +2
We present results of simulations aimed at tracing the formation of nuclear star clusters (NCs) and black hole (BH) seeds, in a cosmological context. We focus on two mechanisms for…

On the offset of Short Gamma-ray Bursts
R. Salvaterra, B. Devecchi, M. Colpi +1
Short Gamma-Ray Bursts (SGRBs) are expected to form from the coalescence of compact binaries, either of primordial origin or from dynamical interactions in globular clusters. In th…

High redshift formation and evolution of central massive objects I: model description
B. Devecchi, M. Volonteri, M. Colpi +1
Galactic nuclei host central massive objects either in the form of supermassive black holes or nuclear stellar clusters. Recent investigations have shown that both components co-ex…
