LISA Definition Study Report
Monica Colpi, Karsten Danzmann, Martin Hewitson +108
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is the first scientific endeavour to detect and study gravitational waves from space. LISA will survey the sky for Gravitational Waves…
Dynamical formation of BH1 in a young star cluster
Sara Rastello, Giuliano Iorio, Michela Mapelli +5
BH1, the first quiescent black hole (BH) detected from data, poses a challenge to most binary evolution models: its current mass ratio is , and its orbi…
Growth of Seed Black Holes in Galactic Nuclei
Rainer Spurzem, Francesco Rizzuto, Manuel Arca Sedda +5
The evolution of dense star clusters is followed by direct high-accuracy N-body simulation. The problem is to first order a gravitational N-body problem, but stars evolve due to as…
Quiescent and active galactic nuclei as factories of merging compact objects in the era of gravitational-wave astronomy
Manuel Arca Sedda, Smadar Naoz, Bence Kocsis
Galactic nuclei harbouring a central supermassive black hole (SMBH), possibly surrounded by a dense nuclear cluster (NC), represent extreme environments which house a complex inter…
On the eccentricity evolution of massive black hole binaries in stellar backgrounds
Matteo Bonetti, Alexander Rasskazov, Alberto Sesana +6
We study the dynamical evolution of eccentric massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) interacting with unbound stars by means of an extensive set of three body scattering experiments.…
Lack of nuclear clusters in dwarf spheroidal galaxies: implications for massive black holes formation and the cusp/core problem
Manuel Arca-Sedda, Roberto Capuzzo-Dolcetta
One of the leading scenarios for the formation of nuclear star clusters in galaxies is related to the orbital decay of globular clusters (GCs) and their subsequent merging, though…
