The LISA Astrophysics "Disc-IMRI" Code Comparison Project: Intermediate-Mass-Ratio Binaries in AGN-Like Discs
Andrea Derdzinski, Alexander J. Dittmann, Alessia Franchini +16
Upcoming space-based gravitational wave detectors such as LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will be sensitive to extreme- and intermediate-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs a…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
Suppressed "lump" EM signature in radiation pressure dominated accreting massive black hole binaries
Fabiola Cocchiararo, Alessia Franchini, Alessandro Lupi +1
We investigate the impact of radiation pressure on electromagnetic signatures of accreting massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) at milli-parsec separations, using 3D hyper-Lagrangia…
Identifying massive black hole binaries via light curve variability in optical time-domain surveys
Alfredo Chiesa, David Izquierdo-Villalba, Alberto Sesana +5
Accreting massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) often display periodic variations in their emitted radiation, providing a distinctive signature for their identification. In this work…
Prospects for EMRI/MBH parameter estimation using Quasi-Periodic Eruption timings: short-timescale analysis
Joheen Chakraborty, Lisa V. Drummond, Matteo Bonetti +11
Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are luminous, recurring X-ray outbursts from galactic nuclei, with timescales of hours to days. While their origin remains uncertain, leading models…
Radiation pressure role in accreting massive black hole binaries
Fabiola Cocchiararo, Alessia Franchini, Alessandro Lupi +1
We investigate the impact of radiation pressure on the circumbinary discs surrounding accreting massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) at milli-parsec separations, using 3D hyper-Lagr…
