Effects of Wandering on the Coalescence of Black Hole Binaries in Galactic Centers
Pinaki Chatterjee, Lars Hernquist, Abraham Loeb
We examine whether massive binary black holes in spherically symmetric bulges of galaxies can achieve coalescence through the emission of gravitational radiation under the action o…
Brownian Motion in Gravitationally-Interacting Systems
Pinaki Chatterjee, Lars Hernquist, Abraham Loeb
We derive a model that describes the motion of a Brownian particle in a system which is dominated by gravitational forces. An example of such a system is a massive black hole immer…
Dynamics of a Massive Black Hole at the Center of a Dense Stellar System
Pinaki Chatterjee, Lars Hernquist, Abraham Loeb
We develop a simple physical model to describe the dynamics of a massive point-like object, such as a black hole, near the center of a dense stellar system. It is shown that the to…
The Spin Period, Luminosity and Age Distributions of Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars
Pinaki Chatterjee, Lars Hernquist
We consider the accretion model for anomalous X-ray pulsars proposed recently by Chatterjee, Hernquist and Narayan, in which the emission is powered by accretion from a fossil disk…
An Accretion Model for Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars
Pinaki Chatterjee, Lars Hernquist, Ramesh Narayan
We present a model for the anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) in which the emission is powered by accretion from a fossil disk, established from matter falling back onto the neutron st…
