Using Machine Learning to Model Stellar Collisions in our Galactic Center

Tristan C. Sand, Sanaea C. Rose, Elena González Prieto +8

Direct collisions in the inner pc of the Galactic center can alter the orbits and properties of stars. The outcome of a collision depends on a number of parameters, including the m…

Formation of Black Hole-White Dwarf X-ray Binaries in Globular Clusters

William Y. W. Yang, Kyle Kremer, James C. Lombardi +1

Globular clusters are host to significant populations of dynamically-active stellar remnants that connect to a variety of astrophysical sources. Using simulations performed with th…

Machine Learning Methods for Stellar Collisions. I. Predicting Outcomes of SPH Simulations

Elena González Prieto, James C. Lombardi, Sanaea C. Rose +7

Stellar collisions can occur frequently in dense cluster environments, and play a crucial role in producing exotic phenomena from blue stragglers in globular clusters to high-energ…

Modeling Stellar Collisions in Galactic Nuclei Using Hydrodynamic Simulations and Machine Learning

Sanaea C. Rose, James C. Lombardi, Elena González Prieto +2

Nuclear star clusters represent some of the most extreme collisional environments in the Universe. A nuclear star cluster like that of the Milky Way harbors a supermassive black ho…

Spin-Orbit Alignment in Merging Binary Black Holes Following Collisions with Massive Stars

Fulya Kıroğlu, James C. Lombardi, Kyle Kremer +2

Merging binary black holes (BBHs) formed dynamically in dense star clusters are expected to have uncorrelated spin--orbit orientations since they are assembled through many random…

Formation of Stripped Stars From Stellar Collisions in Galactic Nuclei

C. Gibson, F. Kıroğlu, J. C. Lombardi +7

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are an important way to probe the properties of stellar populations surrounding supermassive black holes. Observed spectra of several TDEs, such as A…
