Emulating the complex galactic-scale orbital dynamics of LISA massive black hole pairs with normalizing flows

Pedro R. Capelo, Carlos Moreno Martinez, Nodens Koren +6

Massive black hole (MBH) pairs, formed in galaxy mergers, may coalesce in a burst of gravitational waves. Estimating the coalescence time-scales and rates is a long-standing astrop…

Wandering intermediate-mass black holes in Milky Way-mass galaxies in cosmological simulations: myth or reality?

Floor van Donkelaar, Lucio Mayer, Pedro R. Capelo +1

In this work, we address the following question: ``can we use the current cosmological simulations to identify intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) and quantify a putative populat…
