European Pulsar Timing Array Limits on Continuous Gravitational Waves from Individual Supermassive Black Hole Binaries
Stanislav Babak, Antoine Petiteau, Alberto Sesana +33
We have searched for continuous gravitational wave (CGW) signals produced by individually resolvable, circular supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) in the latest EPTA dataset,…
European Pulsar Timing Array Limits On An Isotropic Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background
Lindley Lentati, Stephen R. Taylor, Chiara M. F. Mingarelli +33
We present new limits on an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB) using a six pulsar dataset spanning 18 yr of observations from the 2015 European Pulsar Timing…
Tidal disruptions in circumbinary disks. II: Observational signatures in the reverberation spectra
Patrick Brem, Jorge Cuadra, Pau Amaro-Seoane +1
Supermassive Binary Black Holes (SMBBHs) with sub-pc separations form in the course of galaxy mergers, if both galaxies harbour massive black holes. Clear observational evidence fo…
The butterfly effect in the extreme-mass ratio inspiral problem
Pau Amaro-Seoane, Patrick Brem, Jorge Cuadra +1
Measurements of gravitational waves from the inspiral of a stellar-mass compact object into a massive black hole are unique probes to test General Relativity (GR) and MBH propertie…
Fake plunges are very eccentric real EMRIs in disguise ... they dominate the rates and are blissfully ignorant of angular momentum barriers
Pau Amaro-Seoane, Carlos Sopuerta, Patrick Brem
The capture of a compact object in a galactic nucleus by a massive black hole (MBH) is the best way to map space and time around it. Compact objects such as stellar black holes on…
Mergers of multi-metallic globular clusters: The role of dynamics
Pau Amaro-Seoane, Symeon Konstantinidis, Patrick Brem +1
Hubble Space Telescope observations of globular clusters (GCs) in the Antennae galaxy show clusters of clusters, or regions in the galaxy that span hundreds of parsecs, where many…
