Emulating the complex galactic-scale orbital dynamics of LISA massive black hole pairs with normalizing flows
Pedro R. Capelo, Carlos Moreno Martinez, Nodens Koren +6
The paper introduces a machine‑learning emulator based on conditional normalizing flows to rapidly predict the orbital decay of massive black hole pairs in galaxy merger remnants,…
Gravitational Wave Astronomy With TianQin
En-Kun Li, Shuai Liu, Alejandro Torres-Orjuela +50
The paper outlines the scientific potential of the TianQin space‑based gravitational‑wave observatory, describing the types of compact‑object sources it can detect in the mHz band…
Too shy to spin? Cosmic wallflowers as proto-globular clusters
Floor van Donkelaar, Lucio Mayer, Pedro R. Capelo
We investigate the rotational properties of star-forming clusters at in the high-resolution simulation MassiveBlackPS, focusing on two formation channels: clusters for…
Multi-messenger and Multi-band Studies of Massive Black Holes: the Synergies Between LISA and SKAO
Pedro R. Capelo, Alberto Mangiagli, Lorenz Zwick +2
Depending on its mass, the same gas-embedded massive black hole (BH) binary can emit gravitational waves (GWs) in one or more bands (nHz and mHz) concurrently, along with electroma…
The role of major mergers in triggering super-Eddington accretion
Riccardo Caleno, Tommaso Zana, Raffaella Schneider +6
JWST observations have opened a new era in the exploration of the high-redshift Universe, revealing black holes (BHs) with masses of several million solar masses already at ,…
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…
