RABBITS IV: Stellar feedback and SMBH merging time-scales in the sub-Milky Way mass regime

Ruby J. Wright, Roosa Heiskanen, Shihong Liao +5

Merging supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in low- and intermediate-mass galaxies are important sources for future millihertz gravitational-wave observatories such as LISA. Predictin…

The LISA Astrophysics MBHcatalogues Project: A comparison of predictions of simulated massive black hole binaries

David Izquierdo-Villalba, Melanie Habouzit, Matteo Bonetti +67

In the hierarchical paradigm of galaxy formation, central massive black holes (MBHs) are expected to coalesce after the merger of their host galaxies. One of the main goals of the…

Rapid sinking and efficient mergers of supermassive black holes in compact high-redshift galaxies

Atte Keitaanranta, Peter H. Johansson, Alexander Rawlings +5

We present a cosmological zoom-in simulation targeting the high redshift compact progenitor phase of massive galaxies, with the most massive galaxy reaching a stellar mass of $M_{\…

Caught in the act: detections of recoiling supermassive black holes from simulations

Alexander Rawlings, Peter H. Johansson, Thorsten Naab +3

We study the detectability of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with masses of displaced by gravitational wave recoil kicks $(v_{\rm ki…

MAGICS II. Seed black holes stripped of their surrounding stars do not sink

Yihao Zhou, Diptajyoti Mukherjee, Nianyi Chen +7

MBH seed mergers are expected to be among the loudest sources of gravitational waves detected by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), providing a unique window into the b…

Identifying supermassive black hole recoil in elliptical galaxies

Alexander Rawlings, Atte Keitaanranta, Max Mattero +8

We study stellar core growth in simulations of merging massive () elliptical galaxies by a supermassive black hole (SMBH) displaced by gravitatio…
