Hydrodynamical simulations of the tidal stripping of binary stars by massive black holes [PDF]
, 2016 In a galactic nucleus, a star on a low angular momentum orbit around the central massive black hole can be fully or partially disrupted by the black hole tidal field, lighting up the compact object via gas accretion.

Corotating and irrotational binary black holes in quasi-circular orbits [PDF]
, 2001 A complete formalism for constructing initial data representing black-hole binaries in quasi-equilibrium is developed. Radiation reaction prohibits, in general, true equilibrium binary configurations. However, when the timescale for orbital decay is much

Inventory of black hole binaries [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2003 A small group of X-ray binaries currently provides the best evidence for the existence of stellar-mass black holes. These objects are interacting binary systems where the X-rays arise from accretion of material onto a compact object (i.e., an object with a radius of less than a few hundred km). In some favourable cases, optical studies of the companion

Binary black hole mergers from field triples: properties, rates and the impact of stellar evolution [PDF]
, 2017 We consider the formation of binary black hole mergers through the evolution of field massive triple stars. In this scenario, favorable conditions for the inspiral of a black hole binary are initiated by its gravitational interaction with a distant ...

Silence of Binary Kerr Black Holes [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2020 A nontrivial S matrix generally implies a production of entanglement: starting with an incoming pure state, the scattering generally returns an outgoing state with nonvanishing entanglement entropy. It is then interesting to ask if there exists a nontrivial S matrix that generates no entanglement.

Hypervelocity binary stars: smoking gun of massive binary black holes
, 2007 The hypervelocity stars recently found in the Galactic halo are expelled from the Galactic center through interactions between binary stars and the central massive black hole or between single stars and a hypothetical massive binary black hole.

Asymmetric Light Curves of Black Hole Binaries and the Doppler Beaming Effect [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2002 Black hole binary candidates are known to be composed of a black hole with 10Msolar and a K or M type companion. Because the companion is believed to fill the Roche lobe that is very aspherical, the light curves of black hole binaries are characterized ...

, 2010 We study an accretion flow during the gravitational-wave driven evolution of binary massive black holes. After the binary orbit decays due to an interaction with a massive circumbinary disk, the binary is decoupled from the circumbinary disk because the ...
