Electromagnetic counterparts of supermassive black hole binaries resolved by pulsar timing arrays
Takamitsu Tanaka, Kristen Menou, Zoltán Haiman
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) are expected to detect gravitational waves (GWs) from individual low-redshift (z<1.5) compact supermassive (M>10^9 Msun) black hole (SMBH) binaries with…
Witnessing the Birth of a Quasar
Takamitsu Tanaka, Zoltán Haiman, Kristen Menou
The coalescence of a supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) is thought to be accompanied by an electromagnetic (EM) afterglow, produced by the viscous infall of the surrounding cir…
Time-Dependent Models for the Afterglows of Massive Black Hole Mergers
Takamitsu Tanaka, Kristen Menou
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will detect gravitational wave signals from coalescing pairs of massive black holes in the total mass range (10^5 - 10^7)/Msol out to…
The Population of Viscosity- and Gravitational Wave-Driven Supermassive Black Hole Binaries Among Luminous AGN
Zoltán Haiman, Bence Kocsis, Kristen Menou
Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) in galactic nuclei are thought to be a common by-product of major galaxy mergers. We use simple disk models for the circumbinary gas and f…
Astro2010 Decadal Survey Whitepaper: Coordinated Science in the Gravitational and Electromagnetic Skies
Joshua S. Bloom, Daniel E. Holz, Scott A. Hughes +37
It is widely expected that the coming decade will witness the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs). The ground-based LIGO and Virgo GW observatories are being upgrad…
