Gas depletion in primordial globular clusters due to accretion onto stellar-mass black holes
Nathan W. C. Leigh, Torsten Boker, Thomas J. Maccarone +1
(abridged) We consider the effect of stellar remnants on the interstellar medium of a massive star cluster following the initial burst of star formation. We argue that accretion on…
Eccentric disc instability in stellar discs formed from inspiraling gas clouds in the Galactic Centre
Alessia Gualandris, Michela Mapelli, Hagai B. Perets
The inspiral of a turbulent molecular cloud in the Galactic Centre may result in the formation of a small, dense and moderately eccentric gas disc around the supermassive black hol…
Failed-Detonation Supernovae: Sub-Luminous Low-Velocity Ia Supernovae and Their Kicked Remnant White Dwarfs with Iron-Rich Cores
George C. Jordan, Hagai B. Perets, Robert T. Fisher +1
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) originate from the thermonuclear explosions of carbon-oxygen (C-O) white dwarfs (WDs). The single-degenerate scenario is a well-explored model of SNe Ia…
Star Hoppers: Planet Instability and Capture in Evolving Binary Systems
Kaitlin M. Kratter, Hagai B. perets
Many planets are observed in stellar binary systems, and their frequency may be comparable to that of planetary systems around single stars. Binary stellar evolution in such system…
On the origin of planets at very wide orbits from the re-capture of free floating planets
Hagai B. Perets, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven
In recent years several planets have been discovered at wide orbits (>100 AU) around their host stars. Theoretical studies encounter difficulties in explaining their formation and…
Secular evolution of compact binaries near massive black holes: gravitational wave sources and other exotica
Fabio Antonini, Hagai Perets
The environment near super massive black holes (SMBHs) in galactic nuclei contain a large number of stars and compact objects. A fraction of these are likely to be members of binar…
