Black hole mergers and blue stragglers from hierarchical triples formed in globular clusters
Fabio Antonini, Sourav Chatterjee, Carl L. Rodriguez +4
Hierarchical triple-star systems are expected to form frequently via close binary-binary encounters in the dense cores of globular clusters. In a sufficiently inclined triple, grav…
Co-evolution of nuclear star clusters, massive black holes and their host galaxies
Fabio Antonini, Enrico Barausse, Joseph Silk
Studying how nuclear star clusters (NSCs) form and how they are related to the growth of the central massive black holes (MBHs) and their host galaxies is fundamental for our under…
The imprint of massive black-hole mergers on the correlation between nuclear clusters and their host galaxies
Fabio Antonini, Enrico Barausse, Joseph Silk
A literature compilation of nuclear star cluster (NSC) masses is used to study the correlation between global and nuclear properties. A comparison of observational data to the pred…
The final-parsec problem in the collisionless limit
Eugene Vasiliev, Fabio Antonini, David Merritt
A binary supermassive black hole loses energy via ejection of stars in a galactic nucleus, until emission of gravitational waves becomes strong enough to induce rapid coalescence.…
Henize 2-10: the ongoing formation of a nuclear star cluster around a massive black hole
Manuel Arca-Sedda, Roberto Capuzzo-Dolcetta, Fabio Antonini +1
The central region of the galaxy Henize 2-10 has a central black hole (BH) with a mass of about M. While this black hole does not appear to coincide with any…
