Gravitational Torques from a Lopsided Young Stellar Component Sustain High Black Hole Accretion Rates in NGC 4593
Nico Winkel, Knud Jahnke, Juan Antonio Fernández-Ontiveros +8
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) grow primarily through gas accretion, observed as active galactic nuclei (AGNs). While mergers can drive luminous AGN episodes, secular processes m…

Dynamical traction and black hole orbital migration
C. M. Boily, T. L. François, J. Freundlich +3
We investigate the circumstances which allow a black hole to remain put at the galactic centre when the stellar core is anisotropic. We use N-body calculations to study the respons…
