Electromagnetic Emission and Orbital Evolution of Eccentric Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Retrograde Disks

David ONeill, Mark J. Avara, Christopher Tiede +3

Circumbinary disks around supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are expected to form across a broad range of inclinations, with retrograde configurations potentially a common o…

Supermassive black hole binaries in the multi-messenger context of ground and spaceborne VLBI

B. Hudson, L. I. Gurvits, D. J. D'Orazio +3

Evidence of a gravitational wave background suggests the existence of a population of sub-parsec supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs), with characteristic angular separations…

Dynamics and detectability of long-lived non-accretion phases for massive black hole binaries in cold, thermally regulating disks

Christopher Tiede, David O'Neill, Daniel J. D'Orazio

We investigate whether the non-accreting phases found in thin, locally isothermal circumbinary disks survive when the disk thermodynamics are evolved self-consistently. We present…

The LISA Astrophysics "Disc-IMRI" Code Comparison Project: Intermediate-Mass-Ratio Binaries in AGN-Like Discs

Andrea Derdzinski, Alexander J. Dittmann, Alessia Franchini +16

Upcoming space-based gravitational wave detectors such as LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will be sensitive to extreme- and intermediate-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs a…

The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Targeted Searches for Supermassive Black Hole Binaries

Nikita Agarwal, Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi +116

We present the first targeted searches for continuous gravitational waves (CWs) from 114 active galactic nuclei (AGN) that may host supermassive black hole binaries, using the NANO…

Hot, cold, and multi-component accretion flows around supermassive black hole binaries

Christopher Tiede, Daniel J. D'Orazio

We develop a model for supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) accreting below their Eddington limit, focusing on systems where hot, advection-dominated flows become viable. We s…
