Chasing Super-Massive Black Hole merging events with and LISA
L. Piro, M. Colpi, J. Aird +15
The European Space Agency is studying two large-class missions bound to operate in the decade of the 30s, and aiming at investigating the most energetic and violent phenomena in th…
Massive Black Hole Binaries from the TNG50-3 Simulation: II. Using Dual AGNs to Predict the Rate of Black Hole Mergers
Kunyang Li, Tamara Bogdanović, David R. Ballantyne +1
Dual active galaxy nuclei (dAGNs) trace the population of post-merger galaxies and are the precursors to massive black hole (MBH) mergers, an important source of gravitational wave…
Morphological decomposition of TNG50 galaxies: methodology and catalogue
Tommaso Zana, Alessandro Lupi, Matteo Bonetti +6
We present MORDOR (MORphological DecOmposeR, a new algorithm for structural decomposition of simulated galaxies based on stellar kinematics. The code measures the properties of up…
Extreme mass ratio inspirals and tidal disruption events in nuclear clusters. I. Time dependent rates
Luca Broggi, Elisa Bortolas, Matteo Bonetti +2
In this paper we develop a computationally efficient, two-population, time-dependent Fokker-Plank approach in the two dimensions of energy and angular momentum to study the rates o…
Optical follow-up of the tick-tock massive black hole binary candidate
Massimo Dotti, Matteo Bonetti, Fabio Rigamonti +8
The observation of a population of massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) is key for our complete understanding of galaxy mergers and for the characterization of the expected gravitat…
Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals triggered by Massive Black Hole Binaries: from Relativistic Dynamics to Cosmological Rates
Giovanni Mazzolari, Matteo Bonetti, Alberto Sesana +4
Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are compact binary systems characterized by a mass-ratio in the range and represent primary gravitational wave (GW)…
Disc instability and bar formation: view from the IllustrisTNG simulations
David Izquierdo-Villalba, Silvia Bonoli, Yetli Rosas-Guevara +7
We make use of z = 0 samples of strongly barred and unbarred disc galaxies from the TNG100 and TNG50 cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to assess the performance of the simple…
Astrophysics with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
Pau Amaro Seoane, Jeff Andrews, Manuel Arca Sedda +156
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be a transformative experiment for gravitational wave astronomy, and, as such, it will offer unique opportunities to address many…
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…
Massive Black Hole Binaries from the TNG50-3 Simulation: I. Coalescence and LISA Detection Rates
Kunyang Li, Tamara Bogdanović, David R. Ballantyne +1
We evaluate the cosmological coalescence and detection rates for massive black hole (MBH) binaries targeted by the gravitational wave observatory Laser Interferometer Space Antenna…
