Nuclear coups: dynamics of black holes in galaxy mergers
Sandor Van Wassenhove, Pedro R. Capelo, Marta Volonteri +4
We study the dynamical evolution of supermassive black holes (BHs) in merging galaxies on scales of hundreds of kpc to 10 pc, to identify the physical processes that aid or hinder…
Observability of Dual Active Galactic Nuclei in Merging Galaxies
Sandor Van Wassenhove, Marta Volonteri, Lucio Mayer +3
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) have been detected in the centers of most nearby massive galaxies. Galaxies today are the products of billions of years of galaxy mergers, but also…
Massive black holes lurking in Milky Way satellites
S. Van Wassenhove, M. Volonteri, M. G. Walker +1
As massive black holes (MBHs) grow from lower-mass seeds, it is natural to expect that a leftover population of progenitor MBHs should also exist in the present universe. Dwarf gal…
