Binary black holes in young star clusters: the impact of metallicity
Ugo N. Di Carlo, Michela Mapelli, Nicola Giacobbo +9
Young star clusters are the most common birth-place of massive stars and are dynamically active environments. Here, we study the formation of black holes (BHs) and binary black hol…
Chaos and Lévy Flights in the Three-Body Problem
Viraj Manwadkar, Alessandro A. Trani, Nathan W. C. Leigh
We study chaos and Lévy flights in the general gravitational three-body problem. We introduce new metrics to characterize the time evolution and final lifetime distributions, namel…
LHS 1815b: The First Thick-Disk Planet Detected By TESS
Tianjun Gan, Avi Shporer, John H. Livingston +35
We report the first discovery of a thick-disk planet, LHS 1815b (TOI-704b, TIC 260004324), detected in the TESS survey. LHS 1815b transits a bright (V = 12.19 mag, K = 7.99 mag) an…
Do three-body encounters in galactic nuclei affect compact binary merger rates?
Alessandro Alberto Trani
High-density cusps of compact remnants are expected to form around supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galactic nuclei via dynamical friction and two-body relaxation. Due to the hi…
A common origin for the circumnuclear disc and the nearby molecular clouds in the Galactic Centre
Alessandro Ballone, Michela Mapelli, Alessandro Alberto Trani
The origin of the molecular clouds orbiting SgrA* is one of the most debated questions about our Galactic Centre. Here, we present the hydrodynamic simulation of a molecular cloud…
The evolution of kicked stellar-mass black holes in star cluster environments II. Rotating star clusters
Jeremy J. Webb, Nathan W. C. Leigh, Roberto Serrano +5
In this paper, we continue our study on the evolution of black holes (BHs) that receive velocity kicks at the origin of their host star cluster potential. We now focus on BHs in ro…
