Nuclear star clusters
We review the current knowledge about nuclear star clusters (NSCs), the spectacularly
dense and massive assemblies of stars found at the centers of most galaxies. Recent …

Assisted inspirals of stellar mass black holes embedded in AGN discs: solving the 'final au problem'
We explore the evolution of stellar mass black hole binaries (BHBs) which are formed in the
self-gravitating discs of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Hardening due to three-body scattering …

Unveiling the gravitational universe at μ-Hz frequencies
We propose a space-based interferometer surveying the gravitational wave (GW) sky in the
milli-Hz to μ-Hz frequency range. By the 2040s, the μ-Hz frequency band, bracketed in …

Theory of dark matter superfluidity
L Berezhiani, J Khoury - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We propose a novel theory of dark matter (DM) superfluidity that matches the successes of
the Λ cold dark matter (Λ CDM) model on cosmological scales while simultaneously …
