Growth of Seed Black Holes in Galactic Nuclei
Rainer Spurzem, Francesco Rizzuto, Manuel Arca Sedda +5
The evolution of dense star clusters is followed by direct high-accuracy N-body simulation. The problem is to first order a gravitational N-body problem, but stars evolve due to as…
The Dragon-II simulations -- I. Evolution of single and binary compact objects in star clusters with up to 1 million stars
Manuel Arca Sedda, Albrecht W. H. Kamlah, Rainer Spurzem +7
We present the first results of the \textsc{Dragon-II} simulations, a suite of 19 -body simulations of star clusters with up to stars, with up to of them initially…
Quiescent and active galactic nuclei as factories of merging compact objects in the era of gravitational-wave astronomy
Manuel Arca Sedda, Smadar Naoz, Bence Kocsis
Galactic nuclei harbouring a central supermassive black hole (SMBH), possibly surrounded by a dense nuclear cluster (NC), represent extreme environments which house a complex inter…
