Tidal disruptions by rotating black holes: effects of spin and impact parameter
Emanuel Gafton, Stephan Rosswog
We present the results of relativistic smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations of tidal disruptions of stars by rotating supermassive black holes, for a wide range of impact pa…

Primary black hole spin in OJ287 as determined by the General Relativity centenary flare
M. J. Valtonen, S. Zola, S. Ciprini +87
OJ287 is a quasi-periodic quasar with roughly 12 year optical cycles. It displays prominent outbursts which are predictable in a binary black hole model. The model predicted a majo…

Relativistic effects on tidal disruption kicks of solitary stars
Emanuel Gafton, Emilio Tejeda, James Guillochon +2
Solitary stars that wander too close to their galactic centres can become tidally disrupted, if the tidal forces due to the supermassive black hole (SMBH) residing there overcome t…
