Dynamical evolution of the young stars in the Galactic center
Hagai. B. Perets, Alessia Gualandris, David Merritt +1
Recent observations of the Galactic center revealed a nuclear disk of young OB stars near the massive black hole (MBH), in addition to many similar outlying stars with higher eccen…
The HST/ACS Coma Cluster Survey: I - Survey Objectives and Design
David Carter, Paul Goudfrooij, Bahram Mobasher +34
We describe the HST ACS Coma cluster Treasury survey, a deep two-passband imaging survey of one of the nearest rich clusters of galaxies, the Coma cluster (Abell 1656). The survey…
Self-consistent models of triaxial cuspy galaxies with dark matter halos
R. Capuzzo-Dolcetta, L. Leccese, D. Merritt +1
We have constructed realistic, self-consistent models of triaxial elliptical galaxies embedded in triaxial dark matter halos. Self-consistent solutions by means of the standard orb…
Dynamics around supermassive black holes
Alessia Gualandris, David Merritt
The dynamics of galactic nuclei reflects the presence of supermassive black holes (SBHs) in many ways. Single SBHs act as sinks, destroying a mass in stars equal to their own mass…
