Galaxy merger-driven signatures in massive black hole pair hosts across cosmic time
Pranav Satheesh, Aklant K. Bhowmick, Laura Blecha
Galaxy mergers can drive gas toward galactic nuclei, enhancing both star formation and black hole accretion in post-merger galaxies. Here we use the IllustrisTNG-50 simulation and…
Constraints on Supermassive Black Hole Binaries from the Lack of Resolvable Sources in the NANOGrav 15-yr Dataset
Emiko C. Gardiner, Kayhan Gültekin, Philippe Turgeon +116
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) have found evidence of a gravitational wave background (GWB) consistent with a population of supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs), but have not yet…
The lifetimes and properties of Little Red Dots in the AMBRA simulation
Patrick LaChance, Yihao Zhou, Aklant Kumar Bhowmick +6
We identify and analyze the little red dots (LRDs) in the AMBRA cosmological hydrodynamic simulation, by producing mock observations of the galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGN…
Pulsar Timing Array Sensitivity to Anisotropy: Empirical Sensitivity Curves, Scaling Relations, and the Multi-Resolution Pixel Basis
Taha T. Moursy, Nihan S. Pol, Gabriella Agazie +115
We quantify pulsar timing array (PTA) sensitivity to anisotropy in the gravitational wave background using the cross-correlation based Fisher information matrix in the pixel and sp…
An "inside-out" approach to modeling supermassive black hole binary inspiral
Laura Blecha
The inspiral and merger of two supermassive black holes (SMBHs) releases immense energy in low-frequency gravitational waves (GWs). Recent pulsar timing array (PTA) observations of…
The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Impacts of Customized Chromatic Noise Models on Gravitational Wave Analyses
Nikita Agarwal, Gabriella Agazie, Alessandra Amosso +120
We report updated nHz gravitational wave (GW) significance, characterization, and interpretations using the customized chromatic-noise models (CNMs) developed in Larsen, Baier et a…
