Handy Relation Between Binary Black Hole Merger Times and Host Galaxy Properties

Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Fazeel Khan, Isaiah Williams +6

Over the past 15 years, the evidence has clearly demonstrated that massive black hole (MBH) binary merger timescales depend strongly on the structural and kinematic properties of t…

Emission Line Diagnostics for IMBHs in Dwarf Galaxies: Accounting for BH Seeding and ULX Excitation

Chris T. Richardson, Jordan Wels, Kristen Garofali +13

Dwarf AGN serve as the ideal systems for identifying intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) down to the most elusive regimes (). However, the ubiquitousl…

On the Structure of Second Jacobian Ideals

Fei Ye

We show that the second Jacobian ideal of a hypersurface can be decomposed such that a power of the Jacobian ideal becomes a factor. As an application of the decomposition, we pres…

An Enhanced Massive Black Hole Occupation Fraction Predicted in Cluster Dwarf Galaxies

Michael Tremmel, Angelo Ricarte, Priyamvada Natarajan +3

The occupation fraction of massive black holes (MBHs) in dwarf galaxies offers interesting insights into initial black hole seeding mechanisms and their mass assembly history, thou…

Aligning Retrograde Nuclear Cluster Orbits with an Active Galactic Nucleus Accretion Disc

Syeda S. Nasim, Gaia Fabj, Freddy Caban +6

Stars and stellar remnants orbiting a supermassive black hole (SMBH) can interact with an active galactic nucleus (AGN) disc. Over time, prograde orbiters (inclination $i<90^{\circ…

Dwarf AGNs from Variability for the Origins of Seeds (DAVOS): Intermediate-mass black hole demographics from optical synoptic surveys

Colin J. Burke, Yue Shen, Xin Liu +4

We present a phenomenological forward Monte Carlo model for forecasting the population of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in dwarf galaxies observable via their optical variability.…
