Prospects for the formation of GW231123 from the AGN channel
V. Delfavero, S. Ray, H. E. Cook +6
The recent binary black hole (BBH) merger GW231123 consisted of the merger of two intermediate mass black holes (IMBH) which appear to have large spin magnitudes. Active galactic n…
Constraining the LIGO/Virgo AGN channel with black hole spins
B. McKernan, K. E. S. Ford
Merging black holes (BH) are expected to produce remnants with large dimensionless spin parameters (). However, gravitational wave (GW) observations with LIG…
LIGO tells us LINERs are not optically thick RIAFs
K. E. S. Ford, B. McKernan
Low ionization emission line regions (LINERs) are a heterogeneous collection of up to of galactic nuclei in the local Universe. It is unclear whether LINERs are simply the re…
Stars as resonant absorbers of gravitational waves
B. McKernan, K. E. S. Ford, B. Kocsis +1
Quadrupole oscillation modes in stars can resonate with incident gravitational waves (GWs), and grow non-linear at the expense of GW energy. Stars near massive black hole binaries…
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…
