The first high-redshift changing-look quasars
Nicholas P. Ross, Matthew J. Graham, Giorgio Calderone +3
We report on three redshift quasars with dramatic changes in their C IV emission lines, the first sample of changing-look quasars (CLQs) at high redshift. This is also the fi…
The Missing Link in Gravitational-Wave Astronomy: Discoveries waiting in the decihertz range
Manuel Arca Sedda, Christopher P. L. Berry, Karan Jani +27
The gravitational-wave astronomical revolution began in 2015 with LIGO's observation of the coalescence of two stellar-mass black holes. Over the coming decades, ground-based detec…
The evolution of kicked stellar-mass black holes in star cluster environments II. Rotating star clusters
Jeremy J. Webb, Nathan W. C. Leigh, Roberto Serrano +5
In this paper, we continue our study on the evolution of black holes (BHs) that receive velocity kicks at the origin of their host star cluster potential. We now focus on BHs in ro…
Monte-Carlo simulations of black hole mergers in AGN disks: Low mergers and predictions for LIGO
B. McKernan, K. E. S. Ford, R. O'Shaughnessy +1
Accretion disks around supermassive black holes are promising sites for stellar mass black hole mergers detectable with LIGO. Here we present the results of Monte-Carlo simulations…
Ram-pressure stripping of a kicked Hill sphere: Prompt electromagnetic emission from the merger of stellar mass black holes in an AGN accretion disk
B. McKernan, K. E. S. Ford, I. Bartos +7
Accretion disks around supermassive black holes (SMBH) are promising sites for stellar mass black hole (BH) mergers due to mass segregation and merger acceleration by disk gas torq…
Understanding extreme quasar optical variability with CRTS: II. Changing-state quasars
Matthew J. Graham, Nicholas P. Ross, Daniel Stern +8
We present the results of a systematic search for quasars in the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey exhibiting both strong photometric and spectroscopic variability over a decadal…
