Sweeping secular resonance from an intermediate-mass companion and depleting disk enhances AGN TDE rates to 10^{-3}-10^{-2} per galaxy per year on Myr timescales.
Self-consistent spherical accretion simulations show cooling-enhanced growth of PBHs with radiative efficiency ~10^{-2} in the bremsstrahlung regime, yielding a critical seed mass of ~10^{-16} M_sun to consume a solar-mass star in a Hubble time.
New JWST and Keck data on off-nuclear TDE 2025abcr show shifting emission-line velocities from a changing reprocessing layer and an IR power-law slope of -2.13 that is consistent with either reprocessing gas or a young stellar cluster of mass ~10^7.6 solar masses.
Little Red Dots show soft ionizing spectra consistent with massive stars, based on high H-alpha EWs and low HeII/H-beta ratios that rule out hard AGN spectra via Cloudy modeling.
Bar-induced migration can move ω Cen from the GSE phase-space region, but requires Ω_b ≲ 26 km s^{-1} kpc^{-1}, challenging consensus on the bar speed.
Hybrid hydro/direct N-body simulations of dense high-redshift gas clouds form very massive stars via runaway collisions that collapse to IMBHs capable of growing from ~6700 to ~62000 solar masses in 100 Myr under optimistic assumptions.
Morphology-dependent M_bh-σ0 relations are reported: shallow (2.5-3.1) for dust-poor S0 galaxies and steep (7.8) for massive ellipticals, using new SCOPE Bayesian regression on 137 galaxies.
In a barred Milky Way-mass simulation, the nuclear star cluster and nuclear disk co-evolve and share a star-formation history, except for a single massive cluster merger.
An improved distribution-function modeling technique applied to thousands of stars yields a 4 million solar-mass central black hole and a total mass of 2.0-2.3 x 10^7 solar masses within 10 pc of the Milky Way nucleus.
Mass-ratio reversal in isolated binaries offers a viable formation path for GW241011-like events under specific stellar-evolution and interaction conditions.
Star clusters forming in cosmic filaments at z≈7.6 are systematically slow rotators, and a gas-rich subset overlaps the kinematic and density locus of Milky Way globular clusters, making them plausible proto-globular clusters.
N-body+hydro simulation of an isolated Milky Way-like galaxy shows bar-spiral reconnections produce episodic star formation bursts in nuclear stellar discs and clusters after the initial bar-driven burst.
Reduces elliptic triple outcome model to one free parameter, matches N-body simulations except at low angular momentum, and finds observably eccentric merger fractions of 2.6-4.4% in 10^5-10^7 solar mass clusters.
Semi-analytical models show AGN disks produce repeated BBH mergers with a high-mass tail beyond the pair-instability gap, more efficiently at low viscosity, with spin and mass-ratio signatures that can match events like GW190521.
Dark matter clustering, possibly via self-interaction, may help stellar-remnant black holes reach over 10^7 solar masses by z=10.
N-body simulations demonstrate that the inspiral of globular clusters in UGC 7346 results in the formation of a nuclear star cluster with mass (4.1-4.5)×10^5 solar masses within 1.5 Gyr.
Globular cluster deficits in several Coma galaxies, revealed by Voronoi density maps and asymmetry tests, provide evidence for environmental stripping.
