    Multi-Scale Simulations of Merging Galaxies with Supermassive Black Holes

    We present the results of the first multi-scale N-body+hydrodynamical simulations of merging galaxies containing central supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and having a spatial resolution of only a few parsecs. ...

    The Effect of Gaseous Dissipation on the Fate of Supermassive Black Holes in Merging Galaxies

    We analyze the effect of dissipation on the orbital evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) using high-resolution gasdynamical simulations of binary equal- and unequal-mass mergers of disk dominated gala...
