Zusammenfassung

The rates at which stars are delivered to the tidal disruption zone is critically dependent on a complete and comprehensive understanding of all relaxation processes, first near the SMBH (where its gravity dominates), the so-called Keplerian zone, and second in the outer zone (where self-gravity of stars dominates), the so-called harmonic region. The goal is to study accretion processes of gas and stars near the SMBH and their connection to the surrounding star cluster and galaxy with computer simulations. A second branch of SMBH growth is connected to the merger tree of galaxies in the standa...
