MODELING HOT GAS FLOW IN THE LOW-LUMINOSITY ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEUS OF NGC 3115

Based on the dynamical black hole (BH) mass estimates, NGC 3115 hosts the closest billion solar mass BH. In this paper we connect the processes in the nuclear star cluster with the feeding of the supermassive BH. We model the hot gas flow sustained by the injection of matter and energy from the star...
