Dynamics of supernova remnants in the Galactic Centre
  The Galactic centre (GC) is a unique place to study the extreme dynamical
processes occurring near a super-massive black hole (SMBH). Here we simulate a
large set of binaries orbiting the SMBH while the primary member undergoes a
supernova (SN) explosion, in order to study the impact of SN kicks on the
orbits of stars and dark remnants in the GC. We find that SN explosions are
efficient in scattering neutron stars and other light stars on new (mostly
eccentric) orbits, while black holes (BHs) tend to retain memory of the orbit
of their progenitor star. SN kicks are thus unable to eject BHs from the GC: a
cusp of dark remnants may be lurking in the central parsec of our Galaxy.
