dc.descriptionWe have developed a new numerical code to simulate the joint evolution of a massive black hole (MBH) and a surrounding stellar cluster at the center of a galaxy. The physics treated in the simulations include: 2-body relaxation, stellar collisions (using a large set of "SPH" hydrodynamical simulations) and tidal disruption of stars by the MBH. In particular, we investigate the rates of star disruptive events that provide the MBH with gas to accrete.
