Prospects of resolving and localising individual supermassive black hole binaries with pulsar timing arrays: the host ranking challenge
Niccolò Veronesi, Maria Charisi, Polina Petrov +5
Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) are soon expected to detect individually resolved supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries, opening the possibility for multi-messenger discoveries. The…

TriOS Schwarzschild Orbit Modeling: Robustness of Parameter Inference for Masses and Shapes of Triaxial Galaxies with Supermassive Black Holes
Jacob Pilawa, Emily R. Liepold, Chung-Pei Ma
Evidence for the majority of the supermassive black holes in the local universe has been obtained dynamically from stellar motions with the Schwarzschild orbit superposition method…
