Effects of A Supermassive Black Hole Binary on A Nuclear Gas Disk

چکیده
We study influence of a galactic central supermassive black hole (SMBH) binary on gas dynamics and star formation activity in a nuclear gas disk by making three-dimensional Tree+SPH simulations. Due to orbital motions of SMBHs, there are various resonances between gas motion and the SMBH binary motion. We have shown that these resonances create some characteristic structures of gas in the nuclear gas disk, for examples, gas elongated or filament structures, formation of gaseous spiral arms, and small gas disks around SMBHs. In these gaseous dense regions, active star formations are induced. As the result, many star burst regions are formed in the nuclear region. Subject headings: hydrodynamics — black hole physics — galaxies: active — galaxies: nuclei — galaxies: starburst

Formation of supermassive black hole binaries and massive seed SMBHs in gas-rich mergers
We review the results of multi-scale, hydrodynamical simulations of major mergers between galaxies with or without central supermassive black holes (SMBHs) to investigate the orbital decay of SMBH pairs in galactic nuclei and the formation of massive SMBH seeds via direct gas collapse. Both SPH simulations and AMR simulations are carried out. The complex balance between heating and cooling is m...
متن کاملBinary Black Hole Accretion Flows in Merged Galactic Nuclei
We study the accretion flows from the circumbinary disks onto the supermassive binary black holes in a subparsec scale of the galactic center , using a smoothed particles hydrodynamics (SPH) code. Simulation models are presented in four cases of a circular binary with equal masses and unequal masses, and of an eccentric binary with equal masses and unequal masses. We find that the circumblack-h...
متن کاملMaximum black-hole spin from quasicircular binary mergers
Black holes of mass M must have a spin angular momentum S below the Kerr limit ( S=M 1), but whether astrophysical black holes can attain this limiting spin depends on their accretion history. Gas accretion from a thin disk limits the black-hole spin to gas & 0:9980 0:0002, as electromagnetic radiation from this disk with retrograde angular momentum is preferentially absorbed by the black hole....
متن کاملAccretion during the merger of supermassive black holes
We study the evolution of disk accretion during the merger of supermassive black hole binaries in galactic nuclei. In hierarchical galaxy formation models, the most common binaries are likely to arise from minor galactic mergers, and have unequal mass black holes. Once such a binary becomes embedded in an accretion disk at a separation a ∼ 0.1 pc, the merger proceeds in two distinct phases. Dur...
متن کاملRapid formation of supermassive black hole binaries in galaxy mergers with gas.
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are a ubiquitous component of the nuclei of galaxies. It is normally assumed that after the merger of two massive galaxies, a SMBH binary will form, shrink because of stellar or gas dynamical processes, and ultimately coalesce by emitting a burst of gravitational waves. However, so far it has not been possible to show how two SMBHs bind during a galaxy merger wi...
