The Pairing Probability of Massive Black Holes in Merger Galaxies in the Presence of Radiative Feedback
Kunyang Li, Tamara Bogdanovic, David R. Ballantyne
Dynamical friction (DF) against stars and gas is thought to be an important mechanism for orbital evolution of massive black holes (MBHs) in merger remnant galaxies. Recent theoret…

Pairing of Massive Black Holes in Merger Galaxies Driven by Dynamical Friction
Kunyang Li, Tamara Bogdanovic, David R. Ballantyne
Motivated by observational searches for massive black hole (MBH) pairs at kiloparsec separations we develop a semi-analytic model to describe their orbital evolution under the infl…
