Extreme mass ratio inspirals and tidal disruption events in nuclear clusters. I. Time dependent rates
Luca Broggi, Elisa Bortolas, Matteo Bonetti +2
In this paper we develop a computationally efficient, two-population, time-dependent Fokker-Plank approach in the two dimensions of energy and angular momentum to study the rates o…
Optical follow-up of the tick-tock massive black hole binary candidate
Massimo Dotti, Matteo Bonetti, Fabio Rigamonti +8
The observation of a population of massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) is key for our complete understanding of galaxy mergers and for the characterization of the expected gravitat…
Astrophysics with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
Pau Amaro Seoane, Jeff Andrews, Manuel Arca Sedda +156
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be a transformative experiment for gravitational wave astronomy, and, as such, it will offer unique opportunities to address many…
Tidal disruption events in post-starburst galaxies: the importance of a complete stellar mass function
Elisa Bortolas
A tidal disruption event (TDE) occurs when a star is destroyed by the strong tidal shear of a massive black hole (MBH). The accumulation of TDE observations over the last years has…
Eccentricity evolution of massive black hole binaries from formation to coalescence
Alessia Gualandris, Fazeel Mahmood Khan, Elisa Bortolas +4
Coalescing supermassive black hole binaries (BHBs) are expected to be the loudest sources of gravitational waves (GWs) in the Universe. Detection rates for ground or space-based de…
