Counting the Unseen I: Nuclear Density Scaling Relations for Nucleated Galaxies
Christian H. Hannah, Anil C. Seth, Nicholas C. Stone +1
The volumetric rate of tidal disruption events (TDEs) encodes information on the still-unknown demographics of central massive black holes (MBHs) in low-mass galaxies ($\lesssim 10…
Enhanced Extreme Mass Ratio Inspiral Rates into Intermediate Mass Black Holes
Ismail Qunbar, Nicholas C. Stone
Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) occur when stellar-mass compact objects begin a gravitational wave (GW) driven inspiral into massive black holes. EMRI waveforms can precisely…
The thermodynamics of stellar multiplicity: dynamical evolution of binary star populations in dense stellar environments
N. W. C. Leigh, N. C. Stone, J. J. Webb +1
We recently derived, using the density-of-states approximation, analytic distribution functions for the outcomes of direct single-binary scatterings (Stone & Leigh 2019). Using the…
A Statistical Solution to the Chaotic, Non-Hierarchical Three-Body Problem
Nicholas C. Stone, Nathan W. C. Leigh
The three-body problem is arguably the oldest open question in astrophysics, and has resisted a general analytic solution for centuries. Various implementations of perturbation the…
A Generalised Bondi Accretion Model for the Galactic Centre
Almog Yalinewich, Re'em Sari, Aleksey Generozov +2
We develop an analytic, steady-state model for the gas environment in quiescent galactic nuclei. We assume that the mass is constantly supplied by a spherically symmetric distribut…
Interactions between multiple supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei: a solution to the final parsec problem
Taeho Ryu, Rosalba Perna, Zoltán Haiman +2
Using few-body simulations, we investigate the evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galaxies ( at ) at . Following…
