A Magnetic Unification of Merging Supermassive Black Hole Binaries

Mark J. Avara, David O'Neill, Zoltán Haiman

The detection of an electromagnetic (EM) transient from a supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) merging within a gaseous environment will constitute a multi-messenger milestone. N…

Jet Feedback and the Self-Regulated Growth of Black Holes Embedded in AGN Disks

Marguerite Epstein-Martin, Kung-Yi Su, Zoltan Haiman +1

Accretion disks in active galactic nuclei (AGN) are expected to host embedded stellar-mass black holes (BHs) whose gas capture rates can be highly super-Eddington. Without feedback…

The effect of pressure confinement on the maximum mass of rapidly accreting supermassive stars

Lorenz Zwick, Christopher Tiede, Zoltán Haiman

We derive an extension of Chandrasekhar's pulsational stability criterion for relativistic stars with a pressure boundary condition at the surface. We then apply the new criterion…

BINDing the lightcone: A suite of astrophysical ray-traced weak lensing and SZ maps

Max E. Lee, Shy Genel, Zoltan Haiman +2

Recent multiwavelength observations of galaxy group and cluster gas suggest stronger baryonic feedback than our best-calibrated hydrodynamical simulations produce, while modeling t…

BIND (Baryonic INpainting with Deep learning): A Field-level Emulator for Galaxy Groups and Clusters

Max E. Lee, Shy Genel, Zoltan Haiman +3

Baryonic feedback is a dominant source of systematic uncertainty for upcoming weak-lensing surveys, but current tools for modeling its effect rely on spherical approximations and d…

Electromagnetic Emission and Orbital Evolution of Eccentric Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Retrograde Disks

David ONeill, Mark J. Avara, Christopher Tiede +3

Circumbinary disks around supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are expected to form across a broad range of inclinations, with retrograde configurations potentially a common o…
