Gravitational Wave Measurement of the - Intrinsic Scatter at High Redshift
Cayenne Matt, Kayhan Gültekin, Gabriella Agazie +109
The observed GWB spectrum is higher in amplitude than model predictions by a factor of 2-3. Using a semi-analytic model, we evaluate the effect of a high-scatter supermassive black…
The effect of metallicity on the Leavitt Law using phase-dependent properties of classical Cepheids
Gautam Bhuyan, Shashi Kanbur, Sukanta Deb +5
The absolute calibration of period-luminosity (PL) relations of Cepheids in the Milky Way (MW) and its nearby galaxies has been a cornerstone in determining extragalactic distances…
A theoretical framework for BL Her stars IV. New period-luminosity relations in the Rubin-LSST filters
Susmita Das, László Molnár, Róbert Szabó +5
We present new theoretical light curves in the Rubin-LSST filters for a fine grid of BL Her models computed using MESA-RSP. We also derive new theoretical period-luminosity (PL) an…
A theoretical framework for BL Her stars III. A case study: Robust light curve optimisation in the LMC
Susmita Das, László Molnár, Gábor B. Kovács +8
We carry out an extensive light curve comparison of BL Her stars using observations from Gaia DR3 and stellar pulsation models computed using MESA-RSP with the goal to obtain the b…
Inference on inner galaxy structure via gravitational waves from supermassive binaries
Yifan Chen, Matthias Daniel, Daniel J. D'Orazio +107
The detection of a stochastic gravitational wave background by pulsar-timing arrays indicates the presence of a population of supermassive black hole binaries. Although the observe…
The NANOGrav 12.5-year data set: A computationally efficient eccentric binary search pipeline and constraints on an eccentric supermassive binary candidate in 3C 66B
Gabriella Agazie, Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker +85
The radio galaxy 3C 66B has been hypothesized to host a supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) at its center based on electromagnetic observations. Its apparent 1.05-year period an…
