The Fermi/eROSITA bubbles: a look into the nuclear outflow from the Milky Way

KC Sarkar - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2024 - Springer
Galactic outflows are ubiquitous in galaxies containing active star formation or supermassive
black hole activity. The presence of a large-scale outflow from the center of our own Galaxy …

Formation and evolution of compact-object binaries in AGN disks

H Tagawa, Z Haiman, B Kocsis - The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The astrophysical origin of gravitational wave (GW) events discovered by LIGO/VIRGO
remains an outstanding puzzle. In active galactic nuclei (AGNs), compact-object binaries …

Quasi-periodic eruptions from mildly eccentric unstable mass transfer in galactic nuclei

W Lu, E Quataert - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We propose that the recently observed quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) in galactic nuclei
are produced by unstable mass transfer due to Roche lobe overflow of a low-mass main …

Constraining stellar-mass black hole mergers in AGN disks detectable with LIGO

B McKernan, KES Ford, J Bellovary… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Black hole (BH) mergers detectable with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave
Observatory (LIGO) can occur in active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks. Here we parameterize …

Hierarchical black hole mergers in active galactic nuclei

Y Yang, I Bartos, V Gayathri, KES Ford, Z Haiman… - Physical Review Letters, 2019 - APS
The origins of the stellar-mass black hole mergers discovered by LIGO/Virgo are still
unknown. Here we show that if migration traps develop in the accretion disks of active …

Search for continuous gravitational wave emission from the Milky Way center in O3 LIGO-Virgo data

R Abbott, H Abe, F Acernese, K Ackley, N Adhikari… - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We present a directed search for continuous gravitational wave (CW) signals emitted by
spinning neutron stars located in the inner parsecs of the Galactic Center (GC). Compelling …

Double black hole mergers in nuclear star clusters: eccentricities, spins, masses, and the growth of massive seeds

D Chattopadhyay, J Stegmann… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We investigate the formation of intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) through hierarchical
mergers of stellar origin black holes (BHs), as well as BH mergers formed dynamically in …

Black hole and neutron star mergers in galactic nuclei

G Fragione, E Grishin, NWC Leigh… - Monthly Notices of …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Nuclear star clusters surrounding supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galactic nuclei
contain large numbers of stars, black holes (BHs), and neutron stars (NSs), a fraction of …
