Gravitational-Wave Signatures of Massive Black Hole Formation
Bernard J. Kelly, Sarah Gossan, Leonardo R. Werneck +5
Direct-collapse black holes (DCBHs) are an important component of the massive black hole population of the early universe, and their formation and early mergers will be prominent i…

Toward 2D Dynamo Models Calibrated by Global 3D Relativistic Accretion Disk Simulations
Matthew D. Duez, Courtney L. Cadenhead, Zachariah B. Etienne +2
Two-dimensional models assuming axisymmetry are an economical way to explore the long-term evolution of black hole accretion disks, but they are only realistic if the feedback of t…

A Parameter Study of the Electromagnetic Signatures of an Analytical Mini-Disk Model for Supermassive Binary Black Hole Systems
Kaitlyn Porter, Scott C. Noble, Eduardo M. Gutierrez +4
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are thought to be located at the centers of most galactic nuclei. When galaxies merge they form supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) systems and…
