Converging on the eccentricity of massive black hole binaries in galactic mergers
Alessia Gualandris, Justin Read, Federica Fastidio +4
Binaries of supermassive black holes (MBHBs) represent the primary sources of the gravitational wave background (GWB) detectable by Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs). The eccentricity wi…
Black hole dragging: a new mechanism for forming nuclear star clusters in giant elliptical galaxies
Nader Khonji, Alessia Gualandris, Justin I. Read +1
It has long been thought that nuclear star clusters (NSCs) cannot co-exist with the most massive supermassive black holes (SMBHs), since SMBH mergers - unavoidable for the most mas…
Realistic consecutive galaxy mergers form eccentric PTA sources
Federica Fastidio, Elisa Bortolas, Alessia Gualandris +3
Results from pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) show evidence of a gravitational wave background (GWB) consistent with a population of unresolved supermassive black hole binaries (BHBs).…
Breaking Beta: A comparison of mass modelling methods for spherical systems
J. I. Read, G. A. Mamon, E. Vasiliev +6
We apply four different mass modelling methods to a suite of publicly available mock data for spherical stellar systems. We focus on the recovery of the density and velocity anisot…
