摘要:

星系中心的超大质量黑洞支配着周围星团的引力势。在这些稠密的环境中,恒星遵循的轨道几乎是开普勒轨道,由于星团本身作为一个整体产生的潜在波动,这些轨道会慢慢扭曲。特别是,恒星通过共振和非共振过程经历其偏心率的快速弛豫。共振扩散系数的有效实现允许详细和系统的探索参数空间描述的星团的属性。结合最近的观测结果的S-集群轨道SgrA*,这个框架可以用来共同约束分布的未解决的,旧的,背景星团和一个假定的黑暗集群的特性。具体而言,我们展示了如何可以用来估计的典型质量和尖点指数的中间质量黑洞符合松弛状态的分布的偏心率在所观察到的S-集群。这应该证明在限制超大质量黑洞形成的情况下是有用的。

英文摘要:

Supermassive black holes in the centre of galaxies dominate the gravitational potential of their surrounding stellar clusters. In these dense environments, stars follow nearly Keplerian orbits, which get slowly distorted as a result of the potential fluctuations generated by the stellar cluster itself as a whole. In particular, stars undergo a rapid relaxation of their eccentricities through both resonant and non-resonant processes. An efficient implementation of the resonant diffusion coefficients allows for detailed and systematic explorations of the parameter space describing the properties of the stellar cluster. In conjunction with recent observations of the S-cluster orbiting SgrA*, this framework can be used to jointly constrain the distribution of the unresolved, old, background stellar cluster and the characteristics of a putative dark cluster. Specifically, we show how this can be used to estimate the typical mass and cuspide exponent of intermediate-mass black holes consistent with the relaxed state of the distribution of eccentricities in the observed S-cluster. This should prove useful in constraining super massive black hole formation scenarios.
