Black Holes and Galaxy Metamorphosis | | Kelly Holley-Bockelmann
; | | Date: |
26 Apr 2001 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | Case Western Reserve University | | Abstract: | Supermassive black holes can be seen as an agent of galaxy transformation. In particular, a supermassive black hole can cause a triaxial galaxy to evolve toward axisymmetry by inducing chaos in centrophilic orbit families. This is one way in which a single supermassive black hole can induce large-scale changes in the structure of its host galaxy -- changes on scales far larger than the Schwarzschild radius ($O(10^{-5})
m{pc}$) and the radius of influence of the black hole ($O(1)-O(100)
m{pc}$). We will discuss the transformative power of supermassive black holes in light of recent high resolution N-body realizations of cuspy triaxial galaxies. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0104423 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
