A model for the enhanced production rate of early-type hypervelocity stars in the Galactic halo
Chunyang Cao, F. K. Liu, Xian Chen +1
About twenty late B-type hypervelocity stars (HVSs) traveling faster than the Galactic escape velocity have been discovered in the Galactic halo, many of which were ejected from th…
Growth of supermassive black holes, galaxy mergers and supermassive binary black holes
S. Komossa, J. G. Baker, F. K. Liu
The study of galaxy mergers and supermassive binary black holes (SMBBHs) is central to our understanding of the galaxy and black hole assembly and (co-)evolution at the epoch of st…
Boosted Tidal Disruption by Massive Black Hole Binaries During Galaxy Mergers FROM The View of N-Body Simulation
Shuo Li, F. K. Liu, Peter Berczik +1
Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are productions of the hierarchical galaxy formation model. There are many close connections between central SMBH and its host galaxy beca…
Is there an intermediate massive black hole in the Galactic center: Imprints on the stellar tidal-disruption rate
Xian Chen, F. K. Liu
It has been suggested that an intermediate-massive black hole (IMBH) with mass could fall into the galactic center (GC) and form a massive black hole binary (MBH…
Interaction of Recoiling Supermassive Black Holes with Stars in Galactic Nuclei
Shuo Li, F. K. Liu, Peter Berczik +2
Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are the products of frequent galaxy mergers. The coalescence of the SMBHBs is a distinct source of gravitational wave (GW) radiation. The…
Enhanced tidal disruption rates from massive black hole binaries
X. Chen, P. Madau, A. Sesana +1
"Hard" massive black hole (MBH) binaries embedded in steep stellar cusps can shrink via three-body slingshot interactions. We show that this process will inevitably be accompanied…
