Accretion of clumpy cold gas onto massive black holes binaries: the challenging formation of extended circumbinary structures
Cristián Maureira-Fredes, Felipe G. Goicovic, Pau Amaro-Seoane +1
Massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) represent an unavoidable outcome of hierarchical galaxy formation, but their dynamical evolution at sub-parsec scales is poorly understood, due…
Accretion of clumpy cold gas onto massive black hole binaries: a possible fast route to binary coalescence
Felipe G. Goicovic, Cristian Maureira-Fredes, Alberto Sesana +2
In currently favoured hierarchical cosmologies, the formation of massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) following galaxy mergers is unavoidable. Still, due the complex physics governi…
GraviDy, a GPU modular, parallel direct-summation body integrator: Dynamics with softening
Cristián Maureira-Fredes, Pau Amaro-Seoane
A wide variety of outstanding problems in astrophysics involve the motion of a large number of particles () under the force of gravity. These include the global ev…
Retrograde binaries of massive black holes in circum-binary accretion discs
Pau Amaro-Seoane, Cristián Maureira-Fredes, Massimo Dotti +1
We explore the hardening of a massive black hole binary embedded in a circum-binary gas disc when the binary and the gas are coplanar and the gas is counter-rotating. The secondary…
