Post-Newtonian simulations of super-massive black hole binaries in galactic nuclei
(Wiley-VCH Verlag Berlin: Astronomische Nachrichten, 2008-12)
We present some preliminary results from recent numerical simulations that model the evolution of super-massive black
hole (SMBH) binaries in galactic nuclei. Including the post-Newtonian terms for the binary system and ...
An Instability in triaxial stellar systems
(Wiley InterScience: Astronomische Nachrichten, 2008-12)
The radial-orbit instability is a collective phenomenon that has heretofore only been observed in spherical systems. We
find that this instability occurs also in triaxial systems, as we checked by performing extensive ...
A Hybrid N-Body Code incorporating algorithmic regularization and Post-Newtonian forces
(Wiley InterScience: Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2008-07-24)
We describe a novel N-body code designed for simulations of the central regions of
galaxies containing massive black holes. The code incorporates Mikkola’s “algorithmic”
chain regularization scheme including post-Newtonian ...
