The long-term evolution of main-sequence binaries in DRAGON simulations

Qi Shu, Xiaoying Pang, Francesco Flammini Dotti +3

We present a comprehensive investigation of main-sequence (MS) binaries in the DRAGON simulations, which are the first one-million particles direct -body simulations of globular…

Cosmological Insights into the Early Accretion of \textit{r}-Process-Enhanced stars. I. A Comprehensive Chemo-dynamical Analysis of LAMOST J1109+0754

Mohammad K. Mardini, Vinicius M. Placco, Yohai Meiron +10

This study presents a comprehensive chemo-dynamical analysis of LAMOST J1109+0754, a bright (V = 12.8), extremely metal-poor (\abund{Fe}{H} = ) star, with a strong \textit{r…

Revealing the Formation of the Milky Way Nuclear Star Cluster via Chemo-Dynamical Modeling

Tuan Do, Gregory David Martinez, Wolfgang Kerzendorf +4

The Milky Way nuclear star cluster (MW NSC) has been used as a template to understand the origin and evolution of galactic nuclei and the interaction of nuclear star clusters with…

Merging of unequal mass binary black holes in non-axisymmetric galactic nuclei

Peter Berczik, Manuel Arca Sedda, Margaryta Sobolenko +3

In this work, we study the stellar-dynamical hardening of unequal mass supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries in the central regions of merging galactic nuclei. We present a compr…

Mass and rate of hierarchical black hole mergers in young, globular and nuclear star clusters

Michela Mapelli, Filippo Santoliquido, Yann Bouffanais +3

Hierarchical mergers are one of the distinctive signatures of binary black hole (BBH) formation through dynamical evolution. Here, we present a fast semi-analytic approach to simul…

Fingerprints of binary black hole formation channels encoded in the mass and spin of merger remnants

Manuel Arca Sedda, Michela Mapelli, Mario Spera +2

Binary black holes (BBHs) are thought to form in different environments, including the galactic field and (globular, nuclear, young and open) star clusters. Here, we propose a meth…

Birth, life, and death of black hole binaries around supermassive black holes: dynamical evolution of gravitational wave sources

Manuel Arca Sedda

In this paper, we explore the mechanisms that regulate the formation and evolution of stellar black hole binaries (BHBs) around supermassive black holes (SMBHs). We show that dynam…
