Eccentricity evolution of massive black hole binaries from formation to coalescence
Alessia Gualandris, Fazeel Mahmood Khan, Elisa Bortolas +4
Coalescing supermassive black hole binaries (BHBs) are expected to be the loudest sources of gravitational waves (GWs) in the Universe. Detection rates for ground or space-based de…
Extremely efficient mergers of intermediate mass black hole binaries in nucleated dwarf galaxies
Fazeel Mahmood Khan, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann
Gravitational waves emitted by merging black holes between will be detectable by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) with signal-to-noise ratios…
Inward Bound: The incredible journey of massive black holes as they pair and merge; I. The effect of mass ratio in flattened rotating galactic nuclei
Fazeel Mahmood Khan, Muhammad Awais Mirza, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann
Understanding how supermassive black holes (SMBHs) pair and merge helps to inform predictions of off-center, dual, and binary AGN, and provides key insights into how SMBHs grow and…
Dynamical Evolution and Merger Time-scales of LISA Massive Black Hole Binaries in Disk Galaxy Mergers
Fazeel M. Khan, Pedro R. Capelo, Lucio Mayer +1
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will detect gravitational-wave (GW) signals from merging supermassive black holes (BHs) with masses below ~M. It is th…
DLA and sub-DLA metallicity evolution: A case study of absorbers towards Q0338-0005
Waqas Bashir, Tayyaba Zafar, Fazeel M. Khan +1
The damped and sub-damped Lyman alpha systems (DLAs and sub-DLAs) traced in absorption against bright background quasars represent the main reserve of neutral hydrogen at high reds…
The Stellar Orbital Structure in Axisymmetric Galaxy Models with Supermassive Black Hole Binaries
Baile Li, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Fazeel Mahmood Khan
It has been well-established that particular centrophilic orbital families in non-spherical galaxies can, in principle, drive a black hole binary to shrink its orbit through three-…
Gravitational Wave Driven Mergers and Coalescence Time of Supermassive Black Holes
Fazeel Mahmood Khan, Peter Berczik, Andreas Just
The evolution of Supermassive Black Holes (SMBHs) initially embedded in the centres of merging galaxies realised with a stellar mass function (SMF) is studied from the onset of gal…
Galaxy Rotation and Supermassive Black Hole Binary Evolution
Muhammad Awais Mirza, Afnan Tahir, Fazeel Mahmood Khan +4
Supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries residing at the core of merging galaxies are recently found to be strongly affected by the rotation of their host galaxies. The highly eccen…
Swift coalescence of supermassive black holes in cosmological mergers of massive galaxies
Fazeel M. Khan, Davide Fiacconi, Lucio Mayer +2
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are ubiquitous in galaxies with a sizable mass. It is expected that a pair of SMBHs originally in the nuclei of two merging galaxies would form a b…
Galaxy Rotation and Rapid Supermassive Black Hole Binary Coalescence
Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Fazeel Mahmood Khan
During a galaxy merger, the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in each galaxy is thought to sink to the center of the potential and form a supermassive black hole binary; this binary c…
Scattering experiments meet N-body I: a practical recipe for the evolution of massive black hole binaries in stellar environments
Alberto Sesana, Fazeel Mahmood Khan
The N-independence observed in the evolution of massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) in recent simulation of merging stellar bulges suggests a simple interpretation beyond complex t…
Classification of Stellar Orbits in Axisymmetric Galaxies
Baile Li, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Fazeel Khan
It is known that two supermassive black holes (SMBHs) cannot merge in a spherical galaxy within a Hubble time; an emerging picture is that galaxy geometry, rotation, and large pote…
Ultramassive Black Hole Coalescence
Fazeel Khan, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Peter Berczik
Although supermassive black holes (SMBHs) correlate well with their host galaxies, there is an emerging view that outliers exist. Henize 2-10, NGC 4889, and NGC1277 are examples of…
Supermassive Black Hole Binary Evolution in Axisymmetric Galaxies: the final parsec problem is not a problem
Fazeel Khan, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann
During a galaxy merger, the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in each galaxy is thought to sink to the center of the potential and form a supermassive black hole binary; this binary c…
