Connecting current and future dual AGN searches to LISA and PTA gravitational wave detections

Nianyi Chen, Yihao Zhou, Ekaterine Dadiani +10

Dual active galactic nuclei (DAGN) mark an observable stage of massive black hole (MBH) pairing in galaxy mergers and are precursors to the MBH binaries that generate low-frequency…

From ASTRID to BRAHMA -- The role of overmassive black holes in little red dots in cosmological simulations

Patrick LaChance, Aklant Kumar Bhowmick, Rupert A. C. Croft +8

We leverage the overmassive black holes () present in a realization of the BRAHMA cosmological hydrodynamic simulation suite to investigate their ro…

The Properties of Little Red Dot Galaxies in the ASTRID Simulation

Patrick LaChance, Rupert A. C. Croft, Tiziana Di Matteo +5

We present simulated counterparts of the ``Little Red Dot'' (LRD) galaxies observed with JWST, using the large cosmological hydrodynamic simulation, ASTRID. We create mock observat…

Large-scale surveys of the quasar proximity effect

Rupert A. C. Croft, Patrick Shaw, Ann-Marsha Alexis +6

The UV radiation from high redshift quasars causes a local deficit in the neutral hydrogen absorption (Lyman-alpha forest) in their spectra, known as the proximity effect. Measurem…

The Gravitational Wave Background from Massive Black Holes in the ASTRID Simulation

Nianyi Chen, Tiziana Di Matteo, Yihao Zhou +6

Recent pulsar timing array (PTA) observations have detected nanohertz gravitational waves, likely originating from massive black hole binaries (MBHBs). The detected amplitude is un…

Central Cluster Galaxies: A Hotspot for Detectable Gravitational Waves from Black Hole Mergers

Yihao Zhou, Tiziana Di Matteo, Nianyi Chen +6

After Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) have announced the evidence for a low-frequency gravitational wave background (GWB), the continuous waves (CWs) are the next anticipated gravitati…
