Emulating the complex galactic-scale orbital dynamics of LISA massive black hole pairs with normalizing flows

Pedro R. Capelo, Carlos Moreno Martinez, Nodens Koren +6

Massive black hole (MBH) pairs, formed in galaxy mergers, may coalesce in a burst of gravitational waves. Estimating the coalescence time-scales and rates is a long-standing astrop…

Too shy to spin? Cosmic wallflowers as proto-globular clusters

Floor van Donkelaar, Lucio Mayer, Pedro R. Capelo

We investigate the rotational properties of star-forming clusters at in the high-resolution simulation MassiveBlackPS, focusing on two formation channels: clusters for…

Multi-messenger and Multi-band Studies of Massive Black Holes: the Synergies Between LISA and SKAO

Pedro R. Capelo, Alberto Mangiagli, Lorenz Zwick +2

Depending on its mass, the same gas-embedded massive black hole (BH) binary can emit gravitational waves (GWs) in one or more bands (nHz and mHz) concurrently, along with electroma…

The role of major mergers in triggering super-Eddington accretion

Riccardo Caleno, Tommaso Zana, Raffaella Schneider +6

JWST observations have opened a new era in the exploration of the high-redshift Universe, revealing black holes (BHs) with masses of several million solar masses already at ,…

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…

Enhanced activity in close dual-AGN systems in the local Universe

Lorenzo Battistini, Alessandra De Rosa, Paola Severgnini +16

We present the study of an X-ray selected sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in pairs at projected spatial separations 1 </kpc < 100 at z < 0.1, using XMM-Newton and Chan…
