The effect of triaxial galaxy shapes on the dynamics of triple supermassive black holes in a cosmological context

The hierarchical nature of galaxy formation in the Lambda cold dark matter ($\Lambda$CDM) cosmological framework model often leads to the presence of multiple supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the galactic nuclei. The timescale over which galaxies merge plays a crucial role in shaping the dynamical evolution and the merger dynamics of their central SMBHs. While binary SMBH evolution has been extensively studied, the long-term dynamics of triple SMBH systems, especially in realistic, nonspherical galactic potentials, still remain less understood. In this work, we investigated the role of triaxiality in shaping the dynamical evolution of three SMBH triple systems taken from the ROMULUS25 cosmological simulation embedded in triaxial stellar backgrounds to find common dynamical evolution patterns and estimate typical coalescence times using high-resolution gravitodynamical $\textit{N}$-body simulations. We explored a range of orbital configurations and host galaxy shapes with initial conditions from the ROMULUS25 data and tracked the orbital evolution from the galactic inspiral to the formation of hard binaries at sub-parsec separations and used the observed hardening rates to estimate the time of coalescence. In all cases, the two heaviest black holes form an efficiently hardening binary, which merges within the Hubble time, while the third black hole (BH) either forms a stable hierarchical triple system with the heavier binary or remains on a wide galactic orbit. Finally, we analyzed the triaxiality of the galactic remnant from our simulations and conclude that the initial triaxial shape of the galaxies does not significantly change the final dynamical outcome of the triple systems.

Intermediate Mass Black Hole Binary Evolution in Nuclear Star Clusters: the effect of the stellar mass black hole population

In this study, we investigate the dynamics of Intermediate-Mass Black Hole (IMBH) binaries within Nuclear Star Clusters (NSCs) that contain a population of stellar-mass black holes (BHs). We examine how these stellar and BH populations influence the dynamics of the IMBH binary and, in turn, how the evolving IMBH binary affects the surrounding stellar and BH populations. We conduct high-resolution $N$-body simulations of NSCs constructed based on observational parameters from two local dwarf galaxies: NGC205 and NGC404. For the first time, we achieve a star particle mass resolution of $1\rm\;M_{\odot}$ and a BH mass resolution of $10\rm\;M_{\odot}$. This level of resolution is crucial for accurately modeling the collisional dynamics of these dense systems. Including stellar-mass BHs within the stellar population significantly influences the IMBH binary dynamics, nearly doubling the sinking rate and halving the merger time. During the initial phase of the inspiral, the IMBH binary disrupts both the stellar and BH cusps. However, the BH cusp quickly regains its steep slope due to its shorter relaxation time and continues to dominate the evolution of the IMBH binary, despite being much less massive compared to the stellar component. We uncover an interesting mechanism in which BHs first efficiently extract energy from the IMBH binary and then transfer this energy to the surrounding stars, allowing the BHs to spiral back toward the center of the system and restart the process. Our results imply that, although stellar mass BHs are a minor component of a stellar population, they can significantly facilitate IMBH growth within NSCs via mergers. We also notice that these dense systems can potentially boost Intermediate Mass Ratio Inspirals (IMRIs) predominantly on radial orbits.

The effect of triaxiality on the dynamics of triple supermassive black holes in a cosmological context

The hierarchical nature of galaxy formation in the $\Lambda$CDM framework often leads to multiple supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the galactic nuclei. The timescale over which galaxies merge, plays a crucial role in shaping the dynamical evolution and the merger dynamics of their central SMBHs. While binary SMBH evolution is well studied, the long-term dynamics of triple SMBH systems, particularly in non-spherical potentials, remain less understood. We investigate the role of triaxiality in the evolution and dynamics of triple SMBHs with initial conditions drawn from the ROMULUS25 cosmological simulation, using high-resolution gravitodynamical N-body simulations. We explore different orbital configurations and host shapes, tracking the evolution from galactic inspiral to hard binary formation at sub-parsec scales. In all cases, the two most massive SMBHs form a rapidly hardening binary that coalesces within a fraction of a Hubble time, while the third forms a stable hierarchical triple system with the heavier binary, or remains on a wide orbit.

Global survey of star clusters in the Milky Way VIII. Cluster formation and evolution

We consider tidal masses and ages of Milky Way open clusters, as well as a simple model of their distribution. Our aim is to investigate the space of model parameters and the correspondence between modelled and observed two-dimensional cluster age-mass distributions. The model for cluster evolution is comprised of a two-section cluster initial mass function, constant cluster formation rate, and a mass loss function. This mass loss function represents a supervirial phase after gas expulsion, mass loss due to stellar evolution, and gradual dissolution driven by internal dynamics and the Galactic tidal field. We construct different estimators of model fitness based on $\chi^2$-statistics, the Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD) and a maximum-likelihood approach. Using these estimators and Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling, we obtain best-fit values and posterior distributions for a selection of model parameters. The KLD returns a superior model compared to the other statistics. The cluster initial mass function is well constrained and we find a clear signature of an enhanced cluster mass loss in the first 50 Myr. In the KLD best model, clusters lose 72% of their initial mass in the violent relaxation phase, after which cluster mass loss slows down, allowing for a relatively low rate of cluster formation of $0.088\mathrm{M_\odot kpc^{-2} Gyr^{-1}}$. The observed upper limit of cluster ages at approx. 5 Gyr is reflected in the model by a shallow lifetime-mass relation for clusters with initial masses above $1000\mathrm{M_\odot}$. The application of the model to an independent cluster sample based on Gaia DR3 data yields similar results except for a systematic shift in age. The observed cluster age-mass distribution is compatible with a constant cluster formation rate. The enhanced number of young massive clusters observed requires an early violent relaxation phase of strong mass loss.

Star-by-star dynamical evolution of the physical pair of the Collinder 135 and UBC 7 open clusters

In a previous paper using Gaia DR2 data, we demonstrated that the two closely situated open clusters Collinder 135 and UBC 7 might have formed together about 50 Myr ago. In this work, we performed star-by-star dynamical modelling of the evolution of the open clusters Collinder 135 and UBC 7 from their supposed initial state to their present-day state, reproducing observational distributions of members. Modelling of the Collinder 135 and UBC 7 dynamical evolution was done using the high-order parallel N-body code \phi-GPU with up-to-date stellar evolution. Membership and characteristics of the clusters were acquired based on Gaia DR3 data. The comparison of the present-day radial cumulative star count obtained from the N-body simulations with the current observational data gave us full consistency of the model with observational data, especially in the central 8 pc, where 80% of the stars reside. The proper motion velocity components obtained from the N-body simulations of the stars are also quite consistent with the observed distributions and error bars. These results show that our numerical modelling is able to reproduce the open clusters' current complex 6D observed phase-space distributions with a high level of confidence. Thus, the model demonstrates that the hypothesis of a common origin of Collinder 135 and UBC 7 complies with present-day observational data.

Identification of new nearby white dwarfs using Gaia DR3

Based on the astrometry and photometry in Gaia DR3, we identified new nearby white dwarfs and validated those that had been missed from recent white dwarf catalogues despite being previously documented. To ensure the reliability of their astrometric solutions, we used a cut on just two parameters from Gaia DR3: the amplitude of the image parameter determination goodness-of-fit and the parallax-over-error ratio. In addition, we imposed photometric signal-to-noise requirements to ensure the reliable identification of white dwarfs when using the colour-magnitude diagram. We have identified nine previously unreported white dwarfs within the local population of 50 pc, and validated 21 previously reported white dwarfs missing from the GCWD21 (Gentile Fusillo et al. 2021) and other recent volume-limited white dwarf samples. A few of these objects belong to the rare class of ultra-cool white dwarfs. Four white dwarfs in our sample have an effective temperature of $T_{eff}\leq4000$ K within the $1\sigma$ interval, and two of them have an absolute magnitude of $M_G > 16.0$ mag. The identified white dwarfs are predominantly located in crowded fields, such as near the Galactic plane or in the foreground of the Large Magellanic Cloud. We also find that 19 of these white dwarfs have common proper motion companions with angular separations ranging from $1.1''$ to $7.1''$ and brightness differences between the components of up to 9.8 magnitudes. One of these systems is a triple system consisting of a white dwarf and two K dwarfs, while another is a double white dwarf system. We have identified 103 contaminants among the 2338 high-confidence white dwarfs in the 50 pc subsample of the GCWD21 and have found that their astrometric solutions in Gaia DR3 are spurious, improving the purity by 4.4%.

Dynamics of supermassive black hole triples in the ROMULUS25 cosmological simulation

For a pair of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the remnant of a dual galaxy merger, well-known models exist to describe their dynamical evolution until the final coalescence accompanied by the emission of a low-frequency gravitational wave (GW) signal. In this article, we investigate the dynamical evolution of three SMBH triple systems recovered from the ROMULUS25 cosmological simulation to explore common dynamical evolution patterns and assess typical coalescence times. For this purpose, we construct initial conditions from the ROMULUS25 data and perform high-resolution gravitodynamical \N-body simulations. We track the orbital evolution from the galactic inspiral to the formation of hard binaries at sub-parsec separation and use the observed hardening rates to project the time of coalescence. In all cases, the two heaviest black holes form an efficiently hardening binary that merges within fractions of the Hubble time. The lightest SMBH either gets ejected, forms a stable hierarchical triple system with the heavier binary, forms a hardening binary with the previously merged binary's remnant, or remains on a wide galactic orbit. The coalescence times of the lighter black holes are thus significantly longer than for the heavier binary, as they experience lower dynamical friction and stellar hardening rates. We observe the formation of hierarchical triples when the density profile of the galactic nucleus is sufficiently steep.

Global survey of star clusters in the Milky Way -- VII. Tidal parameters and mass function

We built Galactic open star cluster mass functions (CMFs) for different age sub-samples in the wider solar neighbourhood. We present a simple cluster formation and evolution model to reproduce the main features of the CMFs. We used an unbiased sample of 2227 clusters of the Milky Way Star Cluster (MWSC) catalogue, which occupy the heliocentric cylinders with magnitude-dependent completeness radii of 1-5 kpc. We derived tidal masses of clusters with an accuracy of 70%. Our cluster formation and evolution model is based on the cluster initial mass function, the cluster formation rate, cluster mass loss due to stellar evolution and the clusters' dynamical evolution in the Galactic tidal field. The obtained tidal masses have been added to the MWSC catalogue. A general CMF (GCMF), built for all cluster ages around the Sun, extends over four decades in mass. The high-mass slope is +1.14. The CMFs for different age groups show the same high-mass slopes, while the low-mass slope is flat for the youngest sub-sample and about -0.7 for the others. The sub-samples inside and outside the solar Galactocentric radius are consistent with the GCMF, once the exponential decline of the Galactic disc density is taken into account. The model suggests star formation with low efficiency of 15%, where 10% of stars remain bound in a cluster after gas expulsion and violent relaxation. The cluster formation rate required to reproduce the observed age-mass-distribution is 0.4 solar masses per square pc and Gyr. The obtained high-mass slope of the GCMF for the wide solar neighbourhood is similar to slopes determined in nearby galaxies. The MWSC catalogue supports models with low star-formation efficiency, where 90% of stars are lost quickly after gas expulsion. The cluster formation rate corresponds to open clusters' contribution to the stellar content of the thin disc of 30%.

The Fifth Catalogue of Nearby Stars (CNS5)

We present the compilation of the Fifth Catalogue of Nearby Stars (CNS5), based on astrometric and photometric data from Gaia EDR3 and Hipparcos, and supplemented with parallaxes from ground-based astrometric surveys carried out in the infrared. The aim of the CNS5 is to provide the most complete sample of objects in the solar neighbourhood. For all known stars and brown dwarfs in the 25 pc sphere around the Sun, basic astrometric and photometric parameters are given. Furthermore, we provide the colour-magnitude diagram and various luminosity functions of the stellar content in the solar neighbourhood, and characterise the completeness of the CNS5 catalogue. We compile a sample of stars and brown dwarfs which most likely are located within 25 pc of the Sun, taking space-based parallaxes from Gaia EDR3 and Hipparcos as well as ground-based parallaxes from Best et al. (2021), Kirkpatrick et al. (2021), and from the CNS4 into account. We develop a set of selection criteria to clean the sample from spurious sources. Furthermore, we show that effects of blending in the Gaia photometry, which affect mainly the faint and red sources in Gaia, can be mitigated, to reliably place those objects in a colour-magnitude diagram. We also assess the completeness of the CNS5 using a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and derive observational optical and mid-infrared luminosity functions for the main-sequence stars and white dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood. The CNS5 contains 5931 objects, including 5230 stars (4946 main-sequence stars, 20 red giants and 264 white dwarfs) and 701 brown dwarfs. We find that the CNS5 catalogue is statistically complete down to 19.7 mag in G-band and 11.8 mag in W1-band absolute magnitudes, corresponding to a spectral type of L8.

The impact of Post-Newtonian effects on massive black hole binary evolution at $\sim 1000\,R_{sch}$ separations

Aims: We study the impact of Post-Newtonian correction terms on the energetic interaction between a gravitational wave (GW)-emitting supermassive black hole (SMBH) binary system and incoming stars via three-body scattering experiments. Methods: We use the AR-chain code to simulate with high accuracy the interactions between stars and an SMBH binary at separations of$\sim 1000\,R_{sch}$. For all of the interactions, we investigate in detail the energy balance of the three-body systems, using both Newtonian and Post-Newtonian expressions for the SMBH binary orbital energy, taking into account the GW emission by the binary. Results: We find that at these separations, purely Newtonian treatment of the binary orbital energy is insufficient to properly account for the SMBH binary orbital evolution. Instead, along with GW emission, even terms in the PN-corrections must be included in order to describe the energy change of the binary during the stellar interaction.es, 2

Properties of loss cone stars in a cosmological galaxy merger remnant

Aims: We investigate the orbital and phase space properties of loss cone stars that interact strongly with a hard, high-redshift binary supermassive black hole (SMBH) system formed in a cosmological scenario. Methods: We use a novel hybrid integration approach that combines the direct N-body code $\varphi$-GRAPE with ETICS, a collisionless code that employs the self-consistent field method for force calculation. The hybrid approach shows considerable speed-up over direct summation for particle numbers $> 10^6$, while retaining accuracy of direct N-body for a subset of particles. During the SMBH binary evolution we monitor individual stellar interactions with the binary in order to identify stars that noticeably contribute to the SMBH binary hardening. Results: We successfully identify and analyze in detail the properties of stars that extract energy from the binary. We find that the summed energy changes seen in these stars match very well with the overall binary energy change, demonstrating that stellar interactions are the primary drivers of SMBH binary hardening in triaxial, gas-poor systems. The slight triaxiality of our system results in efficient loss cone refilling, avoiding the final parsec problem. We distinguish three different populations of interactions based on their apocenter. We find a clear prevalence of interactions co-rotating with the binary. Nevertheless, retrograde interactions are the most energetic, contributing only slightly less than the prograde population to the overall energy exchange. The most energetic interactions are also likely to result in a change of sign in the angular momentum of the star. We estimate the merger timescale of the binary to be $\approx 20$ $\mathrm{Myr}$, a value larger by a factor of two than the timescale reported in a previous study.

Collinder 135 and UBC 7: A Physical Pair of Open Clusters

Given the closeness of the two open clusters Cr 135 and UBC 7 on the sky, we investigate the possibility of the two clusters to be physically related. We aim to recover the present-day stellar membership in the open clusters Collinder 135 and UBC 7 (300 pc from the Sun), to constrain their kinematic parameters, ages and masses, and to restore their primordial phase space configuration. The most reliable cluster members are selected with our traditional method modified for the use of Gaia DR2 data. Numerical simulations use the integration of cluster trajectories backwards in time with our original high order Hermite4 code \PGRAPE. We constrain the age, spatial coordinates and velocities, radii and masses of the clusters. We estimate the actual separation of the cluster centres equal to 24 pc. The orbital integration shows that the clusters were much closer in the past if their current line-of-sight velocities are very similar and the total mass is more than 7 times larger the mass of the determined most reliable members. We conclude that the two clusters Cr 135 and UBC 7 might very well have formed a physial pair, based on the observational evidence as well as numerical simulations. The probability of a chance coincidence is only about $2\%$.

Addressing via N-body simulations the distribution of the satellite tidal debris in the Milky Way environment

We study the distribution of the Milky Way satellites stellar and dark matter debris. For the first time we address the question of the tidal disruption of satellites in simulations by utilising simultaneously a) a realistic set of orbits extracted from cosmological simulations, b) a three component host galaxy with live halo, disc and bulge components, and c) satellites from hydrodynamical simulations. We analyse the statistical properties of the satellite debris of all massive galaxies reaching the inner Milky Way on a timescale of 2 Gyr. Up to 80$\%$ of the dark matter is stripped from the satellites, while this happens for up to 30$\%$ of their stars. The stellar debris ends mostly in the inner Milky Way halo, whereas the dark matter debris shows a flat mass distribution over the full main halo. The dark matter debris follows a density profile with inner power law index $α_{\rm DM}=-0.66$ and outer index $β_{\rm DM}=2.94$, while for stars $α_{*}=-0.44$ and $β_{*}=6.17$. In the inner 25 kpc, the distribution of the stellar debris is flatter than that of the dark matter debris and the orientations of their short axes differ significantly. Changing the orientation of the stellar disc by 90$^{\rm{o}}$ has only a minor impact on the distribution of the satellite debris. Our results indicate that the dark matter is more easily stripped than stars from the Milky Way satellites. The structure of the debris is dominated by the satellite orbital properties. The radial profiles, the flattening and the orientation of the stellar and dark matter debris are significantly different, which prevents the prediction of the dark matter distribution from the observed stellar component.

The Sixth Data Release of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) -- II: Stellar Atmospheric Parameters, Chemical Abundances and Distances

We present part 2 of the 6th and final Data Release (DR6 or FDR) of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE), a magnitude-limited (9<I<12) spectroscopic survey of Galactic stars randomly selected in the southern hemisphere. The RAVE medium-resolution spectra (R~7500) cover the Ca-triplet region (8410-8795A) and span the complete time frame from the start of RAVE observations on 12 April 2003 to their completion on 4 April 2013. In the second of two publications, we present the data products derived from 518387 observations of 451783 unique stars using a suite of advanced reduction pipelines focussing on stellar atmospheric parameters, in particular purely spectroscopically derived stellar atmospheric parameters (Teff, log(g), and the overall metallicity), enhanced stellar atmospheric parameters inferred via a Bayesian pipeline using Gaia DR2 astrometric priors, and asteroseismically calibrated stellar atmospheric parameters for giant stars based on asteroseismic observations for 699 K2 stars. In addition, we provide abundances of the elements Fe, Al, and Ni, as well as an overall [alpha/Fe] ratio obtained using a new pipeline based on the GAUGUIN optimization method that is able to deal with variable signal-to-noise ratios. The RAVE DR6 catalogs are cross matched with relevant astrometric and photometric catalogs, and are complemented by orbital parameters and effective temperatures based on the infrared flux method. The data can be accessed via the RAVE Web site (http://rave-survey.org) or the Vizier database.

The Sixth Data Release of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) -- I: Survey Description, Spectra and Radial Velocities

The Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) is a magnitude-limited (9<I<12) spectroscopic survey of Galactic stars randomly selected in the southern hemisphere. The RAVE medium-resolution spectra (R~7500) cover the Ca-triplet region (8410-8795A). The 6th and final data release (DR6 or FDR) is based on 518387 observations of 451783 unique stars. RAVE observations were taken between 12 April 2003 and 4 April 2013. Here we present the genesis, setup and data reduction of RAVE as well as wavelength-calibrated and flux-normalized spectra and error spectra for all observations in RAVE DR6. Furthermore, we present derived spectral classification and radial velocities for the RAVE targets, complemented by cross matches with Gaia DR2 and other relevant catalogs. A comparison between internal error estimates, variances derived from stars with more than one observing epoch and a comparison with radial velocities of Gaia DR2 reveals consistently that 68% of the objects have a velocity accuracy better than 1.4 km/s, while 95% of the objects have radial velocities better than 4.0 km/s. Stellar atmospheric parameters, abundances and distances are presented in subsequent publication. The data can be accessed via the RAVE Web (http://rave-survey.org) or the Vizier database.

Star Clusters in the Galactic tidal field, from birth to dissolution

We study the evolution of star clusters in the Galactic tidal field starting from their birth in molecular clumps. Our model clusters form according to the local-density-driven cluster formation model in which the stellar density profile is steeper than that of gas. As a result, clusters resist the gas expulsion better than predicted by earlier models. We vary the impact of the Galactic tidal field λ, considering different Galactocentric distances (3-18 kpc), as well as different cluster sizes. Our model clusters survive the gas expulsion independent of λ. We investigated the relation between the cluster mass at the onset of secular evolution and their dissolution time. The model clusters formed with a high star-formation efficiency (SFE) follow a tight mass-dependent dissolution relation, in agreement with previous theoretical studies. However, the low-SFE models present a shallower mass-dependent relation than high-SFE clusters, and most dissolve before reaching 1 Gyr (cluster teenage mortality).

Discovery of Tidal Tails in Disrupting Open Clusters: Coma Berenices and a Neighbor Stellar Group

We report the discovery of tidal structures around the intermediate-aged ($\sim$ 700--800~Myr), nearby ($\sim85$~pc) star cluster Coma Berenices. The spatial and kinematic grouping of stars is determined with the {\it Gaia} DR2 parallax and proper motion data, by a clustering analysis tool, \textsc{StarGO}, to map 5D parameters ($X, Y, Z$, $μ_α\cosδ, μ_δ$) onto a 2D neural network. A leading and a trailing tails, each with an extension of $\sim50$~pc are revealed for the first time around this disrupting star cluster. The cluster members, totaling to $\sim115^{+5}_{-3}\,\rm {M_\odot}$, are clearly mass segregated, and exhibit a flat mass function with $α\sim 0.79\pm0.16$, in the sense of $dN/dm \propto m^{-α}$, where $N$ is the number of member stars and $m$ is stellar mass, in the mass range of $m=0.25$--$2.51~{\rm M_\odot}$. Within the tidal radius of $\sim$6.9~pc, there are 77 member candidates with an average position, i.e., as the cluster center, of R.A.= 186.8110~deg, and decl.= 25.8112~deg, and an average distance of 85.8~pc. Additional 120 member candidates reside in the tidal structures, i.e., outnumbering those in the cluster core. The expansion of escaping members lead to an anisotropy in the velocity field of the tidal tails. Our analysis also serendipitously uncovers an adjacent stellar group, part of which has been cataloged in the literature. We identify 218 member candidates, 10 times more than previously known. This star group is some 65~pc away from, and $\sim400$~Myr younger than, Coma Ber, but is already at the final stage of disruption.

Direct N-body simulation of the Galactic centre

We study the dynamics and evolution of the Milky Way nuclear star cluster performing a high resolution direct one-million-body simulation. Focusing on the interactions between such stellar system and the central supermassive black hole, we find that different stellar components adapt their overall distribution differently. After 5 Gyr, stellar mass black holes are characterized by a spatial distribution with power-slope $-1.75$, fully consistent with the prediction of Bahcall-Wolf pioneering work. Using the vast amount of data available, we infer the rate for tidal disruption events, being $4 \times 10^{-6}$ per yr, and estimate the number of objects that emit gravitational waves during the phases preceding the accretion onto the super-massive black hole, $\sim 270$ per Gyr. We show that some of these sources could form extreme mass-ratio inspirals. We follow the evolution of binary stars population, showing that the initial binary fraction of $5\%$ drops down to $2.5\%$ inside the inner parsec. Also, we explored the possible formation of binary systems containing a compact object, discussing the implications for millisecond pulsars formation and the development of Ia Supernovae.
