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…
The Keplerian three-body encounter II. Comparisons with isolated encounters and impact on gravitational wave merger timescales
Alessandro A. Trani, Mario Spera, Nathan W. C. Leigh +1
We investigate the role of the Keplerian tidal field generated by a supermassive black hole (SMBH) on the three-body dynamics of stellar mass black holes. We consider two scenarios…
