The competing effect of gas and stars in massive black hole binaries evolution
Elisa Bortolas, Alessia Franchini, Matteo Bonetti +1
Massive black hole binaries are predicted to form during the hierarchical assembly of cosmic structures and will represent the loudest sources of low-frequency gravitational waves…
Circumbinary disc self-gravity governing supermassive black hole binary mergers
Alessia Franchini, Alberto Sesana, Massimo Dotti
Understanding the interaction of massive black hole binaries with their gaseous environment is crucial since at sub-parsec scales the binary is too wide for gravitational wave emis…
Formation of the polar debris disc around 99 Herculis
Jeremy L. Smallwood, Alessia Franchini, Cheng Chen +4
We investigate the formation mechanism for the observed nearly polar aligned (perpendicular to the binary orbital plane) debris ring around the eccentric orbit binary 99 Herculis.…
Multi-planet disc interactions in binary systems
Alessia Franchini, Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow
We investigate the evolution of a multi--planet--disc system orbiting one component of a binary star system. The planet--disc system is initially coplanar but misaligned to the bin…
Orbital dynamics of circumbinary planets
Cheng Chen, Alessia Franchini, Stephen H. Lubow +1
We investigate the dynamics of a nonzero mass, circular orbit planet around an eccentric orbit binary for various values of the binary eccentricity, binary mass fraction, planet ma…
The frequency of Kozai-Lidov disc oscillation driven giant outbursts in Be/X-ray binaries
Rebecca G. Martin, Alessia Franchini
Giant outbursts of Be/X-ray binaries may occur when a Be-star disc undergoes strong eccentricity growth due to the Kozai-Lidov (KL) mechanism. The KL effect acts on a disc that is…
