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…
The time-scale for core collapse in spherical star clusters

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…
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…
A massive black hole at the centre of the quiescent galaxy M32
- R. Marel, P. D. Zeeuw, H. Rix, G. Quinlan
- PhysicsNature
- 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…
The Collapse of Dense Star Clusters to Supermassive Black Holes: Binaries and Gravitational Radiation
- G. Quinlan, S. Shapiro
- Physics
- 1 October 1987
The formation of binaries as a result of normal stellar-dynamic processes in dense clusters of compact stars is investigated analytically. The results of numerical simulations based on a simple…
Dynamical limits on dark mass in the outer solar system
- D. Hogg, G. Quinlan, S. Tremaine
- Physics, Geology
- 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…
On the reliability of gravitational N-body integrations
- G. Quinlan, S. Tremaine
- Physics, Geology
- 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…
