LISA detection of massive black hole binaries: imprint of seed populations and of exterme recoils
A. Sesana, M. Volonteri, F. Haardt
All the physical processes involved in the formation, merging, and accretion history of massive black holes along the hierarchical build--up of cosmic structures are likely to leav…
Gravitational waves from resolvable massive black hole binary systems and observations with Pulsar Timing Arrays
A. Sesana, A. Vecchio, M. Volonteri
Massive black holes are key components of the assembly and evolution of cosmic structures and a number of surveys are currently on-going or planned to probe the demographics of the…
Observing white dwarfs orbiting massive black holes in the gravitational wave and electro-magnetic window
A. Sesana, A. Vecchio, M. Eracleous +1
We consider a potentially new class of gravitational wave sources consisting of a white dwarf coalescing into a massive black hole in the mass range ~10^4-10^5\msun. These sources…
Hypervelocity stars and the environment of Sgr A*
A. Sesana, F. Haardt, P. Madau
Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) are a natural consequence of the presence of a massive nuclear black hole (Sgr A*) in the Galactic Center. Here we use the Brown et al. sample of unbound…
