Detecting massive black hole binaries and unveiling their cosmic history with gravitational wave observations

A. Sesana

Space based gravitational wave astronomy will open a completely new window on the Universe and massive black holes binaries are expected to be among the primary actors on this upco…

Reconstructing the massive black hole cosmic history through gravitational waves

Alberto Sesana, Jonathan R. Gair, Emanuele Berti +1

The massive black holes we observe in galaxies today are the natural end-product of a complex evolutionary path, in which black holes seeded in proto-galaxies at high redshift grow…

Strong lensing of gravitational waves as seen by LISA

M. Sereno, A. Sesana, A. Bleuler +3

We discuss strong gravitational lensing of gravitational waves from merging of massive black hole binaries in the context of the LISA mission. Detection of multiple events would pr…

Constraining scalar fields with stellar kinematics and collisional dark matter

Pau Amaro-Seoane, Juan Barranco, Argelia Bernal +1

The existence and detection of scalar fields could provide solutions to long-standing puzzles about the nature of dark matter, the dark compact objects at the centre of most galaxi…

Self consistent model for the evolution of eccentric massive black hole binaries in stellar environments: implications for gravitational wave observations

A. Sesana

We construct evolutionary tracks for massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) embedded in a surrounding distribution of stars. The dynamics of the binary is evolved by taking into accou…

Measuring the parameters of massive black hole binary systems with Pulsar Timing Array observations of gravitational waves

Alberto Sesana, Alberto Vecchio

The observation of massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) with Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) is one of the goals of gravitational wave astronomy in the coming years. Massive (>10^8 sola…
