Evolution of Galactic Nuclei with 10 $M_odot$ Black Holes | | Hyung Mok Lee

28 Sep 1994 | | Journal: | Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 272 (1995) 605 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Abstract: | A star with main sequence mass greater than $25sim 30msun$ may collapse to a black hole of about 10 $msun$ at the final stage of the evolution. About an order of 1of stellar mass is likely to be in form of such black holes in galaxies. We have examined the dynamics of two-component stellar systems composed of 0.7 $msun$ main-sequence stars, representing the old population of stars whose main-sequence lifetimes are longer than the Hubble time, and a small fraction of 10 $msun$ black holes. The dynamical friction leads to the segregation of black holes to the core and the core collapse takes place among the black holes in a time scale much shorter than that required for a single component cluster. The ultimate evolution of the two-component stellar system depends on the role of three-body binaries formed among the black holes. For a system with $vgta 100kms$ binaries merge by gravitational radiation at some hardness instead of being ejected. The critical hardness, at which the collision time and the merger time become comparable, determines the efficiency of the binary as a heat source. The efficiency is found to be inversely proportional to the velocity dispersion. For the clusters without serious reduction in heating efficiency (i.e., velocity dispersion well below 500 $kms$), heating by three-body binaries have the effect of stopping the core-collapse.
