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…
The Delay Time Distribution of Tidal Disruption Flares
Nicholas C. Stone, Aleksey Generozov, Eugene Vasiliev +1
Recent observations suggest that stellar tidal disruption events (TDE) are strongly overrepresented in rare, post-starburst galaxies. Several dynamical mechanisms have been propose…
Black hole masses of tidal disruption event host galaxies
Thomas Wevers, Sjoert van Velzen, Peter G. Jonker +5
The mass of the central black hole in a galaxy that hosted a tidal disruption event (TDE) is an important parameter in understanding its energetics and dynamics. We present the fir…
Periodic accretion-powered flares from colliding EMRIs as TDE Imposters
Brian D. Metzger, Nicholas C. Stone
When a main sequence star undergoes Roche lobe overflow onto a supermassive black hole (SMBH) in a circular extreme mass ratio inspiral (EMRI), a phase of steady mass transfer ensu…
Optical/UV-to-X-Ray Echoes from the Tidal Disruption Flare ASASSN-14li
Dheeraj R. Pasham, S. Bradley Cenko, Aleksander Sadowski +4
We carried out the first multi-wavelength (optical/UV and X-ray) photometric reverberation mapping of a tidal disruption flare (TDF) ASASSN-14li. We find that its X-ray variations…
Gravitational-Wave Localization Alone Probes AGN Origin of Stellar-Mass Black Hole Mergers
I. Bartos, Z. Haiman, Z. Marka +3
Stellar-mass binary black hole mergers are poised to represent the majority of gravitational-wave (GW) observations by Advanced LIGO and Virgo. Probing their origin will be difficu…
