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…

Chandra High resolution Observations of CID-42, a candidate recoiling SMBH

F. Civano, M. Elvis, G. Lanzuisi +15

We present Chandra High Resolution Camera observations of CID-42, a candidate recoiling supermassive black hole (SMBH) at z=0.359 in the COSMOS survey. CID-42 shows two optical com…

Constraints on the Nature of CID-42: Recoil Kick or Supermassive Black Hole Pair?

Laura Blecha, Francesca Civano, Martin Elvis +1

The galaxy CXOC J100043.1+020637, also known as CID-42, is a highly unusual object. An apparent galaxy merger remnant, it displays signatures of both an inspiraling, kiloparsec-sca…

Double-peaked Narrow-Line Signatures of Dual Supermassive Black Holes in Galaxy Merger Simulations

Laura Blecha, Abraham Loeb, Ramesh Narayan

We present a first attempt to model the narrow-line (NL) region of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy mergers, using a novel physical prescription.…

Recoiling Black Holes in Merging Galaxies: Relationship to AGN Lifetimes and Merger Remnant Properties

Laura Blecha, Thomas J. Cox, Abraham Loeb +1

Central supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are a ubiquitous feature of locally-observed galaxies, and ample evidence suggests that the growth of SMBHs and their host galaxies is clos…
