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…
Beyond No Tension: JWST z > 10 Galaxies Push Simulations to the Limit
Joe McCaffrey, Samantha Hardin, John H. Wise +1
JWST has identified some of the Universe's earliest galaxies, repeatedly pushing the frontier to ever higher redshifts and stellar masses. The presence of such extreme galaxies at…
Predicting the number density of heavy seed massive black holes due to an intense Lyman-Werner field
Hannah O'Brennan, John A. Regan, John Brennan +5
The recent detections of a large number of candidate active galactic nuclei at high redshift (i.e. ) has increased speculation that heavy seed massive black hole forma…
A Heavy Seed Black Hole Mass Function at High Redshift -- Prospects for LISA
Joe McCaffrey, John Regan, Britton Smith +3
The advent of new and near-future observatories probing the earliest epochs of the Universe has opened the opportunity to investigate the formation and growth of the first massive…
