XMM-Newton detection of a delayed X-ray eruption from V838 Monocerotis (2009)
Antonini, Fabio, Montez, Rodolfo Jr., Kastner, Joel H., Bond, Howard E., Soker, Noam, Tylenda, Romuald, ...
We report the XMM-Newton/EPIC detection in 2008 March of a pair of spatially confused X-ray sources in the vicinity of the enigmatic star V838 Mon, which underwent a spectacular outburst in early...
Tidal break-up of binary stars at the Galactic center and its consequences (2009)
Antonini, Fabio, Faber, Joshua, Gualandris, Alessia, Merritt, David
The tidal breakup of binary star systems by the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the center of the galaxy has been suggested as the source of both the observed sample of hypervelocity stars (HVSs)...
A Counterpart to the Radial Orbit Instability in Triaxial Stellar Systems (2009)
Antonini, Fabio, Capuzzo-Dolcetta, Roberto, Merritt, David
Self-consistent solutions for triaxial mass models are highly non-unique. In general, some of these solutions might be dynamically unstable, making them inappropriate as descriptions of steady-state...

An Instability in Triaxial Stellar Systems (2008)
Antonini, Fabio, Capuzzo-Dolcetta, Roberto, Merritt, David
The radial-orbit instability is a collective phenomenon that has heretofore only been observed in spherical systems. We find that this instability occurs also in triaxial systems, as we checked by...
