Galactic orbits of stars with planets ⋆
We have reconstructed the galactic orbits of the parent stars of exo-planets. For comparison, we have recalculated the galactic orbits of stars from the Edvardsson et al. (1993) catalog. A comparison between the two samples indicates that stars with planets are not kinematically peculiar. At each perigalactic distance stars with planets have a metallicity systematically larger than the average ...
متن کاملLoss Cone Refilling Rates in Galactic Nuclei
A gap in phase space is opened up by a binary supermassive black hole as it ejects stars in a galactic nucleus. This gap must be refilled before the single black hole that subsequently forms can disrupt or accrete stars. We compute loss cone refilling rates for a sample of elliptical galaxies as a function of the mass ratio of the binary. Refilling times are of order 1010 yr or longer in bright...
متن کاملExplaining the Orbits of the Galactic Center S-stars
The young stars near the supermassive black hole at the galactic center follow orbits that are nearly random in orientation and that have an approximately “thermal” distribution of eccentricities, N(< e) ∼ e. We show that both of these properties are a natural consequence of a few million years’ interaction with an intermediate-mass black hole (IBH), if the latter’s orbit is mildly eccentric an...
متن کاملMountains on Neutron Stars : Accreted vs . Non - Accreted
The aim of this paper is to compare the two cases of an isolated neutron star, with a non-accreted crust, and that of an accreting neutron star, with an accreted crust, and try to estimate which one of the two would make a better source of gravitational waves. In order to do this we must evaluate the maximum " mountain " that the crust can sustain in these two cases. We first do this using the ...
متن کاملRevised Rates of Stellar Disruption in Galactic Nuclei
We compute rates of tidal disruption of stars by supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei, using downwardly revised black hole masses from the M• −σ relation. In galaxies with steep nuclear density profiles, which dominate the overall event rate, the disruption frequency varies inversely with assumed black hole mass. We compute a total rate for non-dwarf galaxies of ∼ 10−5 yr−1 Mpc−3, about ...
