The Superluminous Transient ASASSN-15lh as a Tidal Disruption Event from a Kerr Black Hole
G. Leloudas, M. Fraser, N. C. Stone +47
When a star passes within the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole, it will be torn apart. For a star with the mass of the Sun () and a non-spinning black hole with a…
The chaotic four-body problem in Newtonian gravity I: Identical point-particles
Nathan W. C. Leigh, Nicholas C. Stone, Aaron M. Geller +4
In this paper, we study the chaotic four-body problem in Newtonian gravity. Assuming point particles and total encounter energies 0, the problem has three possible outcomes.…
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…
Evaporation and Accretion of Extrasolar Comets Following White Dwarf Kicks
Nicholas Stone, Brian Metzger, Abraham Loeb
Several lines of observational evidence suggest that white dwarfs receive small birth kicks due to anisotropic mass loss. If other stars possess extrasolar analogues to the Solar O…
