Intergalactic CIV absorption at redshifts 5.4 to 6
Emma V. Ryan-Weber, Max Pettini, Piero Madau
We report the discovery of a strong CIV 1548,1550 absorption system at z_abs = 5.7238 in the near-infrared spectrum (J-band) of the z_em = 6.28 QSO SDSS J1030+0524. These observati…

Interaction of massive black hole binaries with their stellar environment: I. Ejection of hypervelocity stars
A. Sesana, F. Haardt, P. Madau
We use full three-body scattering experiments to study the ejection of hypervelocity stars (HVSs) by massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) at the center of galaxies. Ambient stars dr…
