Barred galaxies in cosmological zoom-in simulations: the importance of feedback
Tommaso Zana, Pedro R. Capelo, Massimo Dotti +5
Bars are a key factor in the long-term evolution of spiral galaxies, in their unique role in redistributing angular momentum and transporting gas and stars on large scales. The Eri…
Dynamical Evolution and Merger Time-scales of LISA Massive Black Hole Binaries in Disk Galaxy Mergers
Fazeel M. Khan, Pedro R. Capelo, Lucio Mayer +1
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will detect gravitational-wave (GW) signals from merging supermassive black holes (BHs) with masses below ~M. It is th…
Astrophysical black holes
Pedro R. Capelo
In this chapter, we introduce the concept of a black hole (BH) and recount the initial theoretical predictions. We then review the possible types of BHs in nature, from primordial,…
Formation of LISA Black Hole Binaries in Merging Dwarf Galaxies: the Imprint of Dark Matter
Tomas Tamfal, Pedro R. Capelo, Stelios Kazantzidis +4
Theoretical models for the expected merger rates of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are vital for planned gravitational-wave detection experiments such as the Laser Interfero…
Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap
Leor Barack, Vitor Cardoso, Samaya Nissanke +203
The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics---dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-…
Bar resilience to flybys in a cosmological framework
Tommaso Zana, Massimo Dotti, Pedro R. Capelo +4
It has been proposed that close interactions with satellite galaxies can significantly perturb the morphology of the main galaxy. However, the dynamics of an already formed bar fol…
