Prospects for Life on Temperate Planets Around Brown Dwarfs
Manasvi Lingam, Idan Ginsburg, Abraham Loeb
There is growing evidence that brown dwarfs may be comparable to main-sequence stars in terms of their abundance. In this paper, we explore the prospects for the existence of life…
Supernovae in massive binaries and compact object mergers near supermassive black holes
Giacomo Fragione, Idan Ginsburg, Abraham Loeb
Nuclear star clusters that surround supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galactic nuclei are among the densest systems in the Universe, harbouring millions of stars and compact obje…
Active Galactic Nuclei: Boon or Bane for Biota?
Manasvi Lingam, Idan Ginsburg, Shmuel Bialy
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) emit substantial fluxes of high-energy electromagnetic radiation, and have therefore attracted some recent attention for their negative impact on gala…
Galactic Panspermia
Idan Ginsburg, Manasvi Lingam, Abraham Loeb
We present an analytic model to estimate the total number of rocky or icy objects that could be captured by planetary systems within the Milky Way galaxy and result in panspermia s…
Tidal Disruption Events and Gravitational Waves from Intermediate-mass Black Holes in Evolving Globular Clusters Across Space and Time
Giacomo Fragione, Nathan Leigh, Idan Ginsburg +1
We present a semi-analytic model for self-consistently evolving a population of globular clusters (GCs) in a given host galaxy across cosmic time. We compute the fraction of GCs st…
A dynamical origin for planets in triple star systems
Giacomo Fragione, Abraham Loeb, Idan Ginsburg
Recent radial velocity and transit data discovered planets in binary or triple stellar systems out of the entire population of a few thousand known planets. Stellar comp…
