Dynamics of supermassive black holes in centers of galaxies

超大质量黑洞被认为存在于星系的中心区域。星系合并自然导致双黑洞系统的产生，它们是宇宙中引力波的强大来源。该项目的目标是探索超大质量黑洞双星与周围恒星的相互作用，并将我们对这种相互作用的理解与星系核活动的其他表现联系起来。特别是，将探索与单个黑洞潮汐破坏恒星的相似之处，并将研究双黑洞强烈的恒星散射的观测结果。

Supermassive black holes are believed to reside in the central regions of galaxies. Galactic mergers naturally lead to the production of the binary black hole systems, which serve as powerful sources of gravitational waves in the Universe. The goal of the project would be to explore the interaction of the supermassive black hole binaries with their stellar surroundings, and to tie our understanding of this interaction to other manifestations of activity in galactic nuclei. In particular, the parallels with the tidal disruptions of stars by single black holes will be explored and the observational consequences of the strong stellar scattering by the binary black holes will be studied.
