Multi-messenger Time-domain Signatures Of Supermassive Black Hole Binaries

Maria Charisi, Stephen R. Taylor, Jessie Runnoe +2

Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are a natural outcome of galaxy mergers and should form frequently in galactic nuclei. Sub-parsec binaries can be identified from their br…

Quasars with Periodic Variability: Capabilities and Limitations of Bayesian Searches for Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Time-Domain Surveys

Caitlin A. Witt, Maria Charisi, Stephen R. Taylor +1

Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are an inevitable consequence of galaxy mergers. At subparsec separations, they are practically impossible to resolve, and the most promis…

The NANOGrav 12.5-year data set: Search for Non-Einsteinian Polarization Modes in theGravitational-Wave Background

Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker, Harsha Blumer +68

We search NANOGrav's 12.5-year data set for evidence of a gravitational wave background (GWB) with all the spatial correlations allowed by general metric theories of gravity. We fi…

A Wide and Deep Exploration of Radio Galaxies with Subaru HSC (WERGS). IV. Rapidly Growing (Super-)Massive Black Holes in Extremely Radio-Loud Galaxies

Kohei Ichikawa, Takuji Yamashita, Yoshiki Toba +19

We present the optical and infrared properties of 39 extremely radio-loud galaxies discovered by cross-matching the Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) deep optical imaging survey and V…

Searching For Gravitational Waves From Cosmological Phase Transitions With The NANOGrav 12.5-year dataset

Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker, Harsha Blumer +62

We search for a first-order phase transition gravitational wave signal in 45 pulsars from the NANOGrav 12.5 year dataset. We find that the data can be modeled in terms of a strong…

The NANOGrav 11yr Data Set: Limits on Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Galaxies within 500Mpc

Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker, Adam Brazier +54

Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) should form frequently in galactic nuclei as a result of galaxy mergers. At sub-parsec separations, binaries become strong sources of low-…
