Eccentric Stellar-mass Binary Black Holes: Population, Detectability, and Waveform Analysis in the LISA and LIGO Era
Zeyuan Xuan, Smadar Naoz, Kyle Kremer +3
Eccentric binary black holes (BBHs) formed through dynamical interactions can significantly contribute to gravitational wave (GW) detections. In this work, we present a simulated c…
Properties of black hole mergers in disks of active galactic nuclei
Hiromichi Tagawa, Zoltán Haiman, Bence Kocsis
Ground-based gravitational wave (GW) observatories have detected approximately 200 binary black hole (BH) mergers. The astrophysical origin of these events are debated, with eviden…
The Depletion of Collisionless Dark Matter Spikes
Charlie Sharpe, Yonadav Barry Ginat, Thomas F. M. Spieksma +2
Dense concentrations of dark matter surrounding black holes provide a compelling opportunity to probe the nature of dark matter. In the classic Gondolo--Silk model, the adiabatic g…
Black Hole Merger Rates in AGN: contribution from gas-captured binaries
Connar Rowan, Henry Whitehead, Bence Kocsis
It has been suggested that merging black hole (BH) binaries in active galactic nucleus (AGN) discs formed through two-body scatterings via the gas-capture process may explain a sig…
Cosmic Evolution of Stellar-mass Black Hole Merger Rate in Active Galactic Nuclei
Y. Yang, I. Bartos, Z. Haiman +3
Binary black hole mergers encode information about their environment and the astrophysical processes that led to their formation. Measuring the redshift dependence of their merger…
GW170817A as a Hierarchical Black Hole Merger
V. Gayathri, I. Bartos, Z. Haiman +4
Despite the rapidly growing number of stellar-mass binary black hole mergers discovered through gravitational waves, the origin of these binaries is still not known. In galactic ce…
Hierarchical Black Hole Mergers in Active Galactic Nuclei
Yang Yang, Imre Bartos, V. Gayathri +8
The origins of the stellar-mass black hole mergers discovered by LIGO/Virgo are still unknown. Here we show that, if migration traps develop in the \add{accretion} disks of Active…
Intermediate mass black holes in AGN disks II. Model predictions & observational constraints
B. McKernan, K. E. S. Ford, B. Kocsis +2
If intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) grow efficiently in gas disks around supermassive black holes, their host active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks should exhibit myriad observa…
Ripple effects & oscillations in the broad FeKa line as a probe of massive black hole mergers
B. McKernan, K. E. S. Ford, B. Kocsis +1
(abridged) When a sufficiently massive satellite (or secondary) black hole is embedded in a gas disk around a (primary) supermassive black hole, it can open an empty gap in the dis…
