The Galactic Center hosts a rotating disk of young stars between 0.05 and 0.5 pc of Sgr A*. The ``S-stars'' at a distance pc, however, are on eccentric orbits with nearly i…
Counter-Rotation and Slow Precession in Aligned Eccentric Nuclear Disks due to Gravitational Wave Recoil Kicks
Jane C. Bright, Tatsuya Akiba, Ann-Marie Madigan
The M31 nucleus contains a supermassive black hole embedded in a massive stellar disk of apsidally-aligned eccentric orbits. It has recently been shown that this disk is slowly pre…
Tidal Disruption of Planetesimals from an Eccentric Debris Disk Following a White Dwarf Natal Kick
Tatsuya Akiba, Selah McIntyre, Ann-Marie Madigan
The surfaces of many white dwarfs are polluted by metals, implying a recent accretion event. The tidal disruption of planetesimals is a viable source of white dwarf pollution and o…
