Simulations of a binary black hole surrounded by a massive
star-forming nuclear disc.

Massive black hole binary in a nuclear disc of gas. The color
coding indicates the gas density (in logarithmic scale). The
separation between the two black holes (brighter dots in the figure)
is ~20 pc.

Galactic Nuclei and Black Hole Mergers:
Jorge Cuadra studies gas and stellar dynamics in galactic nuclei.
He's particularly interested in the origin of the puzzling young stars
in the Galactic Centre, and in the merger of massive black hole
binaries in a gaseous environment.
Massimo Dotti is working on the evolution of massive black hole pairs
in galaxy mergers. He is particularly interested in studying how dense
gas in the nucleus of the galaxy remnant affects the black hole
dynamics, their detectability, and their spins. His work also
constrains the properties of the black hole remnant after the binary
coalescence, such as the gravitational recoil due to anisotropic
emission of gravitational waves.
Alessia Gualandris works on the dynamics of galactic nuclei
hosting massive black holes. She is interested in the implications
of gravitational waves recoil in black hole mergers
and in the origin and evolution of different stellar populations
in the Galactic Center. She is involved in the development
of numerical algorithms for the simulation of dense stellar systems.
