Secular dynamics of hierarchical quadruple systems: the case of a triple system orbited by a fourth body
Adrian S. Hamers, Hagai B. Perets, Fabio Antonini +1
We study the secular gravitational dynamics of quadruple systems consisting of a hierarchical triple system orbited by a fourth body. These systems can be decomposed into three bin…
Implications of the delayed 2013 outburst of the ESO 243-49 HLX-1
O. Godet, J. Lombardi, F. Antonini +4
After showing four outbursts spaced by year from 2009 to 2012, the hyper luminous X-ray source ESO 243-49 HLX-1, currently the best intermediate mass black hole (IMBH) can…
Secular Evolution Of Binaries Near Massive Black Holes: Formation of compact binaries, merger/collision products and G2-like objects
Snezana Prodan, Fabio Antonini, Hagai B. Perets
Here we discuss the evolution of binaries around MBH in nuclear stellar clusters. We focus on their secular evolution due to the perturbation by the MBH, while simplistically accou…
On the distribution of stellar remnants around massive black holes: slow mass segregation, star cluster inspirals and correlated orbits
Fabio Antonini
We study the long term dynamical evolution of stellar mass black holes (BHs) at the Galactic center (GC) and put constraints on their number and central mass distribution. Models o…
