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…
Massive Star Clusters in the Semi-Analytical Galaxy Formation Model L-Galaxies 2020
Nils Hoyer, Silvia Bonoli, Nate Bastian +7
It is established that there exists a direct link between the formation history of star cluster populations and their host galaxies. However, our lack of understanding of the assem…
Overmassive and Undermassive Massive Black Holes: The Role of Environment and Gravitational-Wave Recoils
David Izquierdo-Villalba
Understanding the connection between galaxy properties and their central massive black holes (MBHs) is key to unveiling their co-evolution. We use the ${\tt L{-}Galaxies{-} \it BH}…
Bright siren without electromagnetic counterpart by LISA-Taiji-TianQin network
Yejing Zhan, David Izquierdo-Villalba, Xiao Guo +3
Gravitational waves (GWs) with electromagnetic counterparts (EMc) offer a novel approach to measure the Hubble constant (), known as bright sirens, enabling measurements…
Constraints on the early growth of massive black holes from PTA and JWST with L-GalaxiesBH
Silvia Bonoli, David Izquierdo-Villalba, Daniele Spinoso +4
Recent Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) results provided strong evidence for a stochastic gravitational wave background (sGWB), consistent with a population of merging massive black hol…
Off-center black hole seed formation? Implications for high and low redshift massive black holes
David Izquierdo-Villalba, Daniele Spinoso, Marta Volonteri +3
Recent studies show that light seeds of black holes, which grow into massive black holes (MBHs) over time, often struggle to remain at the centers of their birthplaces in high-reds…
