Orbital Migration of Interacting Stellar Mass Black Holes in Disks around Supermassive Black Holes. III. Mass Distribution of Hierarchical Mergers

Katherine L. Gonglewski, Amy Secunda, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +3

Active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks are a promising location for the formation of binary black holes (BBHs) that will merge on relatively short timescales and be detected by LIGO-V…

Latent Stochastic Differential Equations for Modeling Quasar Variability and Inferring Black Hole Properties

Joshua Fagin, Ji Won Park, Henry Best +6

Quasars are bright and unobscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) thought to be powered by the accretion of matter around supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. The temp…

Aligning Retrograde Nuclear Cluster Orbits with an Active Galactic Nucleus Accretion Disc

Syeda S. Nasim, Gaia Fabj, Freddy Caban +6

Stars and stellar remnants orbiting a supermassive black hole (SMBH) can interact with an active galactic nucleus (AGN) disc. Over time, prograde orbiters (inclination $i<90^{\circ…

Migration Traps in Disks Around Supermassive Black Holes

Jillian Bellovary, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Barry McKernan +1

Accretion disks around supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in active galactic nuclei contain stars, stellar mass black holes, and other stellar remnants, which perturb the disk gas gr…
