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 long-term evolution of Ultra Faint Dwarf Galaxies and observational implications
Francesco Flammini Dotti, Roberto Capuzzo-Dolcetta, Giovanni Carraro +2
Context. In the Local Group, dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) and ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) exhibit large velocity dispersions. These values are generally attributed to th…
GW emission and relativistic dynamical friction in intermediate mass ratio inspirals
P. Di Cintio, G. Bertone, C. Chiari +4
We present a set of preliminary simulations of intermediate mass ratio inspirals (IMRIs) inside dark matter (DM) spikes accounting for post-Newtonian corrections the interaction be…
Binary stars in the Milky Way nuclear stellar cluster
Arn Marklund, Ross P. Church, Alessandro A. Trani
Intermediate-mass galaxies, including the Milky Way, typically host both a supermassive black hole (SMBH) and a nuclear stellar cluster (NSC). Binaries in an NSC evolve via close e…
Chaos in violent relaxation dynamics. Disentangling micro- and macro-chaos in numerical experiments of dissipationless collapse
Simone Sartorello, Pierfrancesco Di Cintio, Alessandro Alberto Trani +1
Violent relaxation (VR) is often regarded as the mechanism leading stellar systems to collisionless meta equilibrium via rapid changes in the collective potential. We investigate t…
