Cosmic Duets II. Growth and accretion in Gaia Multi-Peak dual AGN at Cosmic Noon

M. Scialpi, F. Mannucci, D. Izquierdo-Villalba +36

We present the first statistical characterization of the physical properties of Cosmic Duets: dual AGN in the redshift range 0.5 z 3.0 with projected separations of 1…

The LISA Astrophysics MBHcatalogues Project: A comparison of predictions of simulated massive black hole binaries

David Izquierdo-Villalba, Melanie Habouzit, Matteo Bonetti +67

In the hierarchical paradigm of galaxy formation, central massive black holes (MBHs) are expected to coalesce after the merger of their host galaxies. One of the main goals of the…

Gravitational Waves from Cosmic Dawn: Tracing Cosmic Black Hole Binaries with ET, LGWA, and LISA

Nazanin Davari, Rosa Valiante, Alessandro Trinca +8

Next-generation detectors, such as LISA, LGWA, and ET, will for the first time probe the high redshift Universe, offering unique insight into the birth, growth, and dynamics of the…

Constraints on the early growth of massive black holes from PTA and JWST with L-GalaxiesBH

Silvia Bonoli, David Izquierdo-Villalba, Daniele Spinoso +4

Recent Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) results provided strong evidence for a stochastic gravitational wave background (sGWB), consistent with a population of merging massive black hol…

Off-center black hole seed formation? Implications for high and low redshift massive black holes

David Izquierdo-Villalba, Daniele Spinoso, Marta Volonteri +3

Recent studies show that light seeds of black holes, which grow into massive black holes (MBHs) over time, often struggle to remain at the centers of their birthplaces in high-reds…

Super-Eddington accretion in high-redshift quasar hosts: Black-hole driven outflows, galaxy quenching, and the nature of little red dots

Giada Quadri, Alessandro Trinca, Alessandro Lupi +2

The advent of the James Webb Space Telescope has revolutionised our understanding of the high-redshift Universe through its detection of bright, massive galaxies up to $z\gtrsim 10…
