Improved gravitational radiation time-scales: significance for LISA and LIGO-Virgo sources
Lorenz Zwick, Pedro R. Capelo, Elisa Bortolas +2
We present a revised version of Peters' (1964) time-scale for the gravitational-wave (GW) induced decay of two point masses. The new formula includes the effects of the first-order…
Improved constraints from ultra-faint dwarf galaxies on primordial black holes as dark matter
Jakob Stegmann, Pedro R. Capelo, Elisa Bortolas +1
Soon after the recent first ever detection of gravitational waves from merging black holes it has been suggested that their origin is primordial. Appealingly, a sufficient number o…
Unveiling the Gravitational Universe at μ-Hz Frequencies
Alberto Sesana, Natalia Korsakova, Manuel Arca Sedda +31
We propose a space-based interferometer surveying the gravitational wave (GW) sky in the milli-Hz to -Hz frequency range. By the 2040s', the -Hz frequency band, bracketed in…
Tidal disruption event rates in galaxy merger remnants
Hugo Pfister, Ben Bar-Or, Marta Volonteri +2
The rate of tidal disruption events (TDEs) depends sensitively on the stellar properties of the central galactic regions. Simulations show that galaxy mergers cause gas inflows, tr…
The lifetime of binary black holes in Sérsic galaxy models
Nadia Biava, Monica Colpi, Pedro R. Capelo +5
In the local universe, black holes of M are hosted in galaxies displaying a variety of stellar profiles and morphologies. These black holes are the anticipated…
