Binary Mergers in the Centers of Galaxies: Synergy between Stellar Flybys and Tidal Fields
Galactic centers (GCs) are very dynamically active environments, often harboring a nuclear star cluster and supermassive black hole at their cores. Binaries in these environments are subject to strong tidal fields that can efficiently torque its orbit, exciting near-unity eccentricities that ultimat...
