Compact massive objects in Virgo galaxies: the black hole population
Marta Volonteri, Francesco Haardt, Kayhan Gultekin
We investigate the distribution of massive black holes (MBHs) in the Virgo cluster. Observations suggest that AGN activity is widespread in massive galaxies (M>1e10 solar masses),…
Three-Body Dynamics with Gravitational Wave Emission
Kayhan Gultekin, M. Coleman Miller, Douglas P. Hamilton
We present numerical three-body experiments that include the effects of gravitational radiation reaction by using equations of motion that include the 2.5-order post-Newtonian forc…
Growth of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in Globular Clusters
Kayhan Gultekin, M. Coleman Miller, Douglas P. Hamilton
We present results of numerical simulations of sequences of binary-single scattering events of black holes in dense stellar environments. The simulations cover a wide range of mass…
Three-Body Encounters of Black Holes in Globular Clusters
Kayhan Gultekin, M. Coleman Miller, Douglas P. Hamilton
Evidence has been mounting for the existence of black holes with masses from 10^2 to 10^4 M_Solar associated with stellar clusters. Such intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) will…
