The Tantalizing Case of the Quasar J0950+5128 -- I. Presentation of the Data and Detailed Exploration of the Binary Supermassive Black Hole Scenario
Niana N. Mohammed, Jessie C. Runnoe, Michael Eracleous +8
Spectroscopic observations of the quasar J09505128 spanning 22 years reveal monotonic radial velocity variations in its broad H emission line. Moreover, the line profile bec…
Preliminary census of galaxies in the LISA localisation volume: I. Searching for LISA candidate massive black hole binary merger hosts using Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometry
Carolyn L. Drake, Jessie Runnoe, Aaron Stemo +6
With the launch of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), we will be able to estimate the sky position, luminosity distance (d), chirp mass, and mass ratio for detect…
Radiative magnetohydrodynamics simulation of minidisks in equal-mass massive black hole binaries
Chi-Ho Chan, Vishal Tiwari, Tamara BogdanoviÄ +2
We are on the cusp of detecting gravitational waves (GWs) from individual massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna and pulsar-timing arrays.…
Insights into Supermassive Black Hole Mergers from the Gravitational Wave Background
C. M. F. Mingarelli, L. Blecha, T. BogdanoviÄ +9
At the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, participants of the rapid response workshop on the gravitational wave background explored discrepancies between experimental results…
