The dynamical evolution of massive black hole binaries i
- G. Quinlan
- Physics
- 17 January 1996
An article or wearing apparel such as a belt buckle provided with an ornament on the front member and an indicator that is movable around the front member to any one of a plurality of predetermined… Expand
Symmetric Multistep Methods for the Numerical Integration of Planetary Orbits

The time-scale for core collapse in spherical star clusters
- G. Quinlan
- Physics
- 30 June 1996
Abstract The collapse time for a cluster of equal-mass stars is usually stated to be either 330 central relaxation times (trc) or 12-19 half-mass relaxation times (trh). But the first of these times… Expand
Models of Galaxies with Central Black Holes: Adiabatic Growth in Spherical Galaxies
- G. Quinlan, L. Hernquist, S. Sigurdsson
- Physics
- 1 July 1994
We add black holes to nonrotating, spherical galaxy models, with the assumption that the black-hole growth is slow compared with the dynamical time but fast compared with the relaxation time. The… Expand
The dynamical evolution of massive black hole binaries — II. Self-consistent N-body integrations
- G. Quinlan, L. Hernquist
- Physics
- 30 June 1997
Abstract We use a hybrid N-body program to study the evolution of massive black hole binaries in the centers of galaxies, mainly to understand the factors affecting the binary eccentricity, the… Expand
Dynamical evolution of dense clusters of compact stars
- G. Quinlan, S. Shapiro
- Physics
- 1 August 1989
Une simulation numerique de l'equation de Fokker-Planck est realisee pour etudier l'evolution dynamique des amas ouverts d'etoiles compactes (etoiles a neutrons et trous noirs). L'amas est considere… Expand
Dynamical evolution of elliptical galaxies with central singularities
- D. Merritt, G. Quinlan
- Physics
- 11 September 1997
We study the effect of a massive central singularity on the structure of a triaxial galaxy using N-body simulations. Starting from a single initial model, we grow black holes with various final… Expand
A massive black hole at the centre of the quiescent galaxy M32
- R. Marel, P. D. Zeeuw, H. Rix, G. Quinlan
- Physics
- Nature
- 12 February 1997
Massive black holes are thought to reside at the centres of many galaxies1,2, where they power quasars and active galactic nuclei. But most galaxies are quiescent, indicating that any central massive… Expand
On the reliability of gravitational N-body integrations
- G. Quinlan, S. Tremaine, S. Tremaine
- Physics
- 1 December 1992
In a self-gravitating system of point particles such as a spherical star cluster, small disturbances to an orbit grow exponentially on a time-scale comparable with the crossing time. The results of… Expand
Dynamical limits on dark mass in the outer solar system
- D. Hogg, G. Quinlan, S. Tremaine
- Physics
- 1 June 1991
Simplified model solar systems with known observational errors are considered in conducting a dynamical search for dark mass and its minimum detectable amount, and in determining the significance of… Expand
