Dynamical friction and the evolution of Supermassive Black hole Binaries: the final hundred-parsec problem
Fani Dosopoulou, Fabio Antonini
The supermassive black holes originally in the nuclei of two merging galaxies will form a binary in the remnant core. The early evolution of the massive binary is driven by dynamic…
On the origins of enigmatic stellar populations in Local Group galactic nuclei
Nathan W. C. Leigh, Fabio Antonini, Nicholas C. Stone +2
We consider the origins of enigmatic stellar populations in four Local Group galactic nuclei, specifically the Milky Way, M31, M32 and M33. These are centrally concentrated blue st…
body dynamics of Intermediate mass-ratio inspirals in globular clusters
Carl-Johan Haster, Fabio Antonini, Vicky Kalogera +1
The intermediate mass-ratio inspiral of a stellar compact remnant into an intermediate mass black hole (IMBH) can produce a gravitational wave (GW) signal that is potentially detec…
Secular dynamics of multiplanet systems: implications for the formation of hot and warm Jupiters via high-eccentricity migration
Adrian S. Hamers, Fabio Antonini, Yoram Lithwick +2
Hot Jupiters (HJs) are Jupiter-like planets that reside very closely to their host star, within . Their formation is not well understood. It is generally bel…
Merging black hole binaries in galactic nuclei: implications for advanced-LIGO detections
Fabio Antonini, Frederic A. Rasio
Motivated by the recent detection of gravitational waves from the black hole binary merger GW150914, we study the dynamical evolution of black holes in galactic nuclei where massiv…
Dynamical constraints on the origin of hot and warm Jupiters with close friends
Fabio Antonini, Adrian S. Hamers, Yoram Lithwick
Gas giants orbiting their host star within the ice line are thought to have migrated to their current locations from farther out. Here we consider the origin and dynamical evolutio…
