Making Bright Giants Invisible At The Galactic Centre
Pau Amaro-Seoane, Xian Chen, Rainer Schödel +1
Current observations of the Galactic Center (GC) seem to display a core-like distribution of bright stars from inwards. On the other hand, we observe young, massive stars…
Direct n-body simulations of tidal disruption rate evolution in unequal-mass galaxy mergers
Shuo Li, Peter Berczik, Xian Chen +3
The hierarchical galaxy formation model predicts supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) in galactic nuclei. Due to the gas poor environment and the limited spatial resolution in…
Impact of a Spinning Supermassive Black Hole on the Orbit and Gravitational Waves of a Nearby Compact Binary
Yun Fang, Xian Chen, Qing-Guo Huang
Recent theoretical studies suggest that stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs) would merge more efficiently due to the Kozai-Lidov mechanism if these binaries form in the vicinity…
The Missing Link in Gravitational-Wave Astronomy: Discoveries waiting in the decihertz range
Manuel Arca Sedda, Christopher P. L. Berry, Karan Jani +27
The gravitational-wave astronomical revolution began in 2015 with LIGO's observation of the coalescence of two stellar-mass black holes. Over the coming decades, ground-based detec…
Retrieving the True Masses of Gravitational-wave Sources
Xian Chen, Zhe-Feng Shen
Gravitational waves (GWs) encode important information about the mass of the source. For binary black holes (BBHs), the templates that are used to retrieve the masses normally are…
