Intermediate Mass Black Hole Binary Evolution in Nuclear Star Clusters: the effect of the stellar mass black hole population

Fazeel Mahmood Khan, Peter Berczik, Margarita Sobolenko +4

In this study, we investigate the dynamics of Intermediate-Mass Black Hole (IMBH) binaries within Nuclear Star Clusters (NSCs) that contain a population of stellar-mass black holes…

JWST Observations of the Double Nucleus in NGC 4486B: Possible Evidence for a Recent Binary SMBH Merger and Recoil

Behzad Tahmasebzadeh, Monica Valluri, Shashank Dattathri +19

A recent study of the compact elliptical galaxy NGC 4486B using JWST-NIRSpec IFU kinematics confirmed a supermassive black hole (SMBH) of mass (~8% of…

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…

AGN Feedback-Induced Stellar Density Expansion in the Inner Regions of Early-Type Galaxies

Fazeel Mahmood Khan, Ángel Rodríguez, Andrea V. Macciò +1

Observations indicate that early-type galaxies exhibit varying slopes in the relation between their central stellar surface density and stellar mass (). Low-mass g…
