After the fusion http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ of discs, the final one is thicker and larger than the initial disc. The tidal ef- Open Access fects are very important, modifying the evolution of the SMBH in the primary and secondary galaxy differently. The mass of the SMBH of the primary ga- laxy has increased by a factor ranging from 52 to 64 times the initial seed mass, depending on the experiment. However, the mass of the SMBH of the secondary galaxy has increased by a factor ranging from 6 to 33 times the ini- tial SMBH seed mass, depending also on the experiment. Most of the accreted particles have come from the bulge and from the halo, depleting their par- ticles. This could explain why the observations show that the SMBH with 6 masses of approximately 10 M is found in many bulgeless galaxies. Only a small number of the accreted particles has come from the disc. In some cases of final merging stage of the two galaxies, the final SMBH of the secondary galaxy was ejected out of the galaxy.

Chan 1. Introduction It is well known in the literature that supermassive black holes (SMBH) exist in the majority of the galaxies, within elliptical, disc to even in dwarf galaxies [1] [2]. Several recent works in numerical simulations with SMBH with gas [3] [4] [5] show us how complex is the dynamical evolution and mass growing with gas ac- cretion can be. Moreover, many papers have been published about simulations of binary mergers with BH seeds including complex dissipative processes but not included in the present simulations [6]-[14]. Simulations of binary mergers with BH seeds and no dissipative effects, simi- lar to the ones presented in this work are published by several authors [15]-[22]. On the other hand, there are only few works in the literature based on simula- tions of interaction of gas-free disc galaxies [23]-[29], but none has treated the problem of the existence of a SMBH at the center of the galaxies. In a recent paper of Li et al. (2017), it is presented the results of the gas-free interaction of SMBHs in very eccentric galaxy orbits. Besides, there are rare works studying the evolution of such a binary galaxy in a long interval of time [28] [29] [30] in small eccentricity orbits. This work is a complementation of our previous work [29] where, there, the focus was the evolution of the discs, but here we use different initial orbit conditions and with a SMBH seed in the initial galaxy. Thus, differently, we will focus in the SMBH seed evolution in a cosmo- logical time and covering a wider range of orbits of the galaxy binary than in the work of Li et al. (2017). Thus, the main goal of the present work is to perform numerical N-body si- mulations to study the time evolution of the mass and dynamics of the initial SMBH seed in the two disc galaxies. We also want to know if the tidal forces af- fect the evolution of the SMBH. This paper explores the scenario as follows: first, we assume a disc galaxy with the characteristics of the Milky Way (disc, bulge, halo and SMBH). Second, we let a secondary galaxy with the same characteristics orbit on pro- grade coplanar or polar disc (orientation in relation to the primary disc ga- laxy). The paper is organized as follows: in Section 2, we describe the numerical method used in the simulations. In Section 3 we present the initial conditions. In Section 4, we describe the results of the simulations. Finally, in Section 5, we summarize the results. 2. Numerical Method The N-body simulation code used was GADGET [31]. A modified version of this basic code was made in order to introduce the SMBH gravitational interaction with the other particle. Here we have used only the N-body integration but without gas.

Heinzeller1 and H. Nomura Department of Astronomy, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan and C. Walsh and T. J. Millar Astrophysics Research Centre, School of Mathematics and Physics, Queen’s University Belfast, Belfast, BT7 1NN, UK Draft version June 5, 2018 ABSTRACT We calculate the chemical evolution of protoplanetary disks considering radial viscous accretion, vertical turbulent mixing and vertical disk winds. We study the effects on the disk chemical structure when different models for the formation of molecular hydrogen on dust grains are adopted. Our gas- phase chemistry is extracted from the UMIST Database for Astrochemistry (Rate06) to which we have added detailed gas-grain interactions. We use our chemical model results to generate synthetic near- and mid-infrared LTE line emission spectra and compare these with recent Spitzer observations. Our results show that if H2 formation on warm grains is taken into consideration, the H2O and OH abundances in the disk surface increase significantly. We find the radial accretion flow strongly influences the molecular abundances, with those in the cold midplane layers particularly affected. On the other hand, we show that diffusive turbulent mixing affects the disk chemistry in the warm molecular layers, influencing the line emission from the disk and subsequently improving agreement with observations. We find that NH3, CH3OH, C2H2 and sulphur-containing species are greatly enhanced by the inclusion of turbulent mixing.

Schmitt and J. Robrade Hamburger Sternwarte, Gojenbergsweg 112, 21029 Hamburg, Germany e-mail: [email protected] Received 3 November 2006 / Accepted 6 December 2006 ABSTRACT We present XMM-Newton X-ray and UV observations of the classical T Tauri star AA Tau covering almost two rotational periods where Prot ∼ 8.5 days. Clear, but uncorrelated variability is found at both wavebands. The variability observed at ∼2100 Å follows the previously known optical period. Spectral analysis of the X-ray data results in significant variability in the X-ray absorption such that the times of maximal X-ray absorption and UV extinction coincide. Placing the coronal emission in regions at low up to moderate magnetic latitudes and attribution of the variable X-ray absorption to accretion curtains and/or the disk warp provides a consistent physical picture. However, the derived X-ray absorption and optical extinction at times of maximal optical/UV brightness, i.e. outside occultation, are difficult to reconcile, requiring additional absorption in a disk wind or a peculiar dust grain distribution. Key words. X-rays: stars – stars: pre-main sequence – stars: coronae – stars: activity 1.

Accreting stars represent the closest examples of these phenomena. Star and planet formation are also intimately connected, setting the starting point for planetary systems like our own. The ultraviolet (UV) spectral range is particularly suited for studying star formation, because virtually all relevant processes radiate at temperatures associated with UV emission processes or have strong observational signatures in the UV range. In this review, we describe how UV observations provide unique diagnostics for the accretion process, the physical properties of the protoplanetary disk, and jets and outflows. Keywords: star formation; ultraviolet; low-mass stars 1. Introduction Stars form in molecular clouds. When these clouds fragment, localized cloud regions collapse into groups of protostars. Stars with final masses between 0.08 M and 2 M , broadly the progenitors of Sun-like stars, start as cores deeply embedded in a dusty envelope, where they can be seen only in the sub-mm and far-IR spectral windows (so-called class 0 sources).

For a system inclination of 75◦ and using an analytic description for a warped inner disc, we find that the shape and amplitude of the photopolarimetric variability are reproduced with a warp that occults the star, located at 0.07 au, amplitude 0.016 au, extending over radial and azimuthal ranges 0.0084 au and 145◦.Wealso show a time sequence of high spatial resolution scattered light images, showing a dark shadow cast by the warp sweeping round the disc. Using a modified smooth particle hydrodynamics code, we find that a stellar dipole magnetic field of strength 5.2 kG, inclined at 30◦ to the stellar rotation axis can reproduce the required disc warping to explain the photopolarimetric variability of AA Tau.

After years of close collaboration, the two major Portuguese research units dedicated to the study of the Universe took the final step in the creation of a research infrastructure with a national dimension – guaranteeing the foundations for a long term sustainable development of one of the most high impact areas in Portugal. The vision proposed for the IA, and for the development of Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Sciences in Portugal, is a bold one, and one that has been clearly shown during 2015 to be within reach. Over the course of this first year, a team of more than 120 people, including over 100 researchers, actively contributed to the development of the IA, strengthening a comprehensive portfolio of projects covering most of the topics that are presently, and for the next decade, at the forefront of research in Astrophysics and Space Sciences.
