Long-Term Evolution of Massive Black Hole Binaries. III. Binary Evolution in Collisional Nuclei
David Merritt, Seppo Mikkola, Andras Szell
[Abridged] In galactic nuclei with sufficiently short relaxation times, binary supermassive black holes can evolve beyond their stalling radii via continued interaction with stars.…
Dynamical Cusp Regeneration
David Merritt, Andras Szell
After being destroyed by a binary supermassive black hole, a stellar density cusp can regrow at the center of a galaxy via energy exchange between stars moving in the gravitational…
Core Collapse via Coarse Dynamic Renormalization
Andras Szell, David Merritt, Ioannis G. Kevrekidis
In the context of the recently developed "equation-free" approach to computer-assisted analysis of complex systems, we extract the self-similar solution describing core collapse of…
Evolution of Binary Supermassive Black Holes via Chain Regularization
Andras Szell, David Merritt, Seppo Mikkola
A chain regularization method is combined with special purpose computer hardware to study the evolution of massive black hole binaries at the centers of galaxies. Preliminary resul…
