Precessional dynamics of black hole triples: binary mergers with near-zero effective spin
Fabio Antonini, Carl L. Rodriguez, Cristobal Petrovich +1
The binary black hole mergers detected by Advanced LIGO/Virgo have shown no evidence of large black hole spins. However, because LIGO/Virgo best measures the effective combination…
On the stability and collisions in triple stellar systems
Matthias Y. He, Cristobal Petrovich
A significant fraction of main sequence stars are part of a triple system. We study the long-term stability and dynamical outcomes of triple stellar systems using a large number of…
Convergent Migration Renders TRAPPIST-1 Long-lived
Daniel Tamayo, Hanno Rein, Cristobal Petrovich +1
TRAPPIST-1 is a late M-dwarf orbited by seven Earth-sized planets with orbital period ratios near a chain of mean motion resonances. Due to uncertain system parameters, most orbita…
Greatly enhanced merger rates of compact-object binaries in non-spherical nuclear star clusters
Cristobal Petrovich, Fabio Antonini
The Milky Way and a significant fraction of galaxies are observed to host a central Massive Black Hole (MBH) embedded in a non-spherical nuclear star cluster. We study the secular…
Connecting HL Tau to the Observed Exoplanet Sample
Christopher Simbulan, Daniel Tamayo, Cristobal Petrovich +2
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submilimeter Array (ALMA) recently revealed a set of nearly concentric gaps in the protoplanetary disk surrounding the young star HL Tau. If these are…
