Unifying spatial correlation with hierarchical population inference to constrain the AGN channel for binary black hole mergers

Lucas Pouw, Lorenzo Speri, Niccolò Veronesi +1

The origin of the stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs) observed in gravitational wave (GW) events by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) detectors remains uncertain. One promising formati…

Prospects of resolving and localising individual supermassive black hole binaries with pulsar timing arrays: the host ranking challenge

Niccolò Veronesi, Maria Charisi, Polina Petrov +5

Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) are soon expected to detect individually resolved supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries, opening the possibility for multi-messenger discoveries. The…

The Host Galaxies of PTA Sources: Converting Supermassive BH Binary Parameters into EM Observables

Niccolo Veronesi, Maria Charisi, Stephen R Taylor +2

Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) are approaching the sensitivity required to resolve gravitational waves (GWs) from individual supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries. However, the larg…

Constraining the AGN formation channel for detected black hole binary mergers up to z=1.5 with the Quaia catalogue

Niccolò Veronesi, Sjoert van Velzen, Elena Maria Rossi +1

Statistical analyses based on the spatial correlation between the sky maps of Gravitational Wave (GW) events and the positions of potential host environments are a powerful tool to…

AGN flares as counterparts to LIGO/Virgo mergers: No confident causal connection in spatial correlation analysis

Niccolò Veronesi, Sjoert van Velzen, Elena Maria Rossi

The primary formation channel for the stellar-mass Binary Black Holes which have been detected merging by the LIGO-Virgo- KAGRA (LVK) collaboration is yet to be discerned. One of t…

The most luminous AGN do not produce the majority of the detected stellar-mass black hole binary mergers in the local Universe

Niccolò Veronesi, Elena Maria Rossi, Sjoert van Velzen

Despite the increasing number of Gravitational Wave (GW) detections, the astrophysical origin of Binary Black Hole (BBH) mergers remains elusive. A promising formation channel for…

Detectability of a spatial correlation between stellar-mass black hole mergers and Active Galactic Nuclei in the Local Universe

Niccolò Veronesi, Elena Maria Rossi, Sjoert van Velzen +1

The origin of the Binary Black Hole (BBH) mergers detected through Gravitational Waves (GWs) by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration remains debated. One fundamental reason is…

Artificial Neural Networks for Galaxy Clustering. Learning from the two-point correlation function of BOSS galaxies

Niccolò Veronesi, Federico Marulli, Alfonso Veropalumbo +1

The increasingly large amount of cosmological data coming from ground-based and space-borne telescopes requires highly efficient and fast enough data analysis techniques to maximis…
