Eccentricity evolution of massive black hole binaries from formation to coalescence

Alessia Gualandris et al.

Summary: Coalescing supermassive black hole binaries (BHBs) are expected to be the loudest sources of gravitational waves (GWs) in the Universe. However, the detection rates for ground or space-based detectors are highly uncertain due to the difficulty in modeling the BHB from merger to inspiral. The eccentricity of the binary is a key factor in determining the GW merger time-scale. Studies show that the initial orbit, dynamical friction phase, and stochastic encounters with stars all contribute to the evolution of the eccentricity. The binding phase of the black holes is characterized by strong perturbations, and the eccentricity changes differently in minor mergers compared to major mergers.

A momentum-conserving N-body scheme with individual time steps

Qirong Zhu

Summary: Taichi is an N-body code designed for galactic dynamics and controlled numerical experiments, incorporating high-order hierarchical multipole expansion methods and time integrators. It performs well in various tests, providing comparable results to traditional methods while speeding up simulations with FMM. Its capability to handle close encounters with a Hamiltonian splitting integrator makes it suitable for studying dynamics around central massive bodies.

SpaceHub: A high-performance gravity integration toolkit for few-body problems in astrophysics

Yi-Han Wang et al.

Summary: SpaceHub presents a variety of algorithmic methods for precise computations of few-body problems, with algorithms like AR-Radau, AR-Sym6, AR-ABITS, and AR-chain(+) outperforming others; AR-Sym6 and AR-chain(+) are the fastest and most accurate for black hole dynamics; AR-Radau can handle extremely eccentric orbits and close approaches; AR-ABITS achieves arbitrary precision with the least CPU cost.

Fast Multipole Methods for N-body Simulations of Collisional Star Systems

Diptajyoti Mukherjee et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that using Taichi for collision simulations of star clusters can accurately model collision effects and is more efficient than other CPU-based codes. Future improvements in handling close encounters and binary evolution show potential for studying large stellar cluster systems.

Extremely efficient mergers of intermediate-mass black hole binaries in nucleated dwarf galaxies

Fazed Mahmood Khan et al.

Summary: Gravitational waves emitted by merging black holes with masses between approximately 10(4) and 10(7) solar masses can be detected by LISA with high signal-to-noise ratios. Studying intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) in dwarf galaxies, the research found that IMBHs in these environments form binaries quickly and efficiently merge due to interactions with nuclear star clusters. The study suggests that IMBHs in nucleated dwarf galaxies are promising sources for LISA observations and could be significant for the growth of IMBHs.

Seeds don't sink: even massive black hole 'seeds' cannot migrate to galaxy centres efficiently

Linhao Ma et al.

Summary: Supermassive black holes in the early universe may not efficiently sink in high-z galaxies, but solutions such as increasing the number of seeds or embedding seed BHs in dense structures can be considered.

FROST: a momentum-conserving CUDA implementation of a hierarchical fourth-order forward symplectic integrator

Antti Rantala et al.

Summary: The study introduces a novel symplectic integrator suitable for simulating systems with a large dynamic range. By computing an additional gradient term, strict positive integrator sub-steps are achieved in the fourth-order symplectic integrator. The integration algorithm demonstrates momentum conservation through synchronous force calculations and kick operations.
