A triple-induced merger in T Ori C, solves the proplyd lifetime problem and the curiously young shell of M42
Maite Wilhelm, Alessandro Alberto Trani, Simon Portegies Zwart
There has long been a tension between the stellar ages in the Orion Nebula Cluster and the rapid external photoevaporation of its protoplanetary discs. Recently, the shell of the O…
Planar Three-Body Problem: theoretical predictions and simulation results
Yogesh Dandekar, Ethan Springer, Shoval Zard +3
We investigate the statistical properties of the non-hierarchical planar three-body problem, relevant to astrophysical systems with nearly planar dynamics, including protoplanetary…
On an empirical method to build near-equilibrium axisymmetric and triaxial galaxy models
Pierfrancesco Di Cintio, Alessandro Alberto Trani, Valentina Cesare
We introduce a numerical technique to implement body realizations of axisymmetric and triaxial self-gravitating system starting from a spherical self-consistent models for whic…
AGN-driven BBH mergers: Black hole populations and hierarchical growth across the AGN parameter space
Maria Paola Vaccaro, Michela Mapelli, Alessandro Alberto Trani +1
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have been proposed as efficient environments for the formation of binary black holes (BBHs). We present an updated semi-analytical framework for BBH f…
The impact of envelope binding energies on the merger rate density of binary compact objects
Cecilia Sgalletta, Guglielmo Costa, Giuliano Iorio +8
The common envelope (CE) phase plays a key role in the formation of binary compact object systems. Its final outcome strongly depends on the envelope binding energy, but this quant…
A benchmark for binary star interaction with a supermassive black hole in general relativity
Megha Sharma, Alexander Heger, Daniel J. Price +4
Most galaxies have supermassive black holes (SMBH) at their centres, surrounded by stars with binary systems also present in this environment. We use two schemes - post-Newtonian (…
