Relativistic Jets and Winds in Radio-Identified Supermassive Black Hole Binary Candidates
Andrew G. Sullivan, Roger D. Blandford, Anna Synani +4
Supermassive black hole binary systems (SMBHBs) are thought to emit the recently discovered nHz gravitational wave background; however, not a single individual nHz source has been…
Compelling Evidence for a Harmonic in the Light Curve of the Supermassive Black Hole Binary Candidate PKS J1309+1154
A. C. S. Readhead, M. F. Aller, A. G. Sullivan +23
We recently discovered a supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) candidate, PKS J1309+1154, in the combined 46-yr University of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO) plus Owe…
A Search for Supermassive Black Hole Binary Candidates in 46-Year Radio Light Curves of 83 Blazars
B. Molina, P. Mróz, P. V. De la Parra +23
The combined University of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO) and Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) blazar monitoring programs at 14.5/15 GHz provide uninterrupted li…
Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Observations of supermassive black hole binary candidates. Strong sinusoidal variations at 95, 147 and 225 GHz in PKS 2131021 and PKS J08050111
Adam D. Hincks, Xiaoyi Ma, Przemek Mróz +23
Large sinusoidal variations in the radio light curves of the blazars PKS J08050111 and PKS 2131021 have recently been discovered with an 18-year monitoring programme at the O…
PKS 2131-021 -- Discovery of Strong Coherent Sinusoidal Variations from Radio to Optical Frequencies: Compelling Evidence for a Blazar Supermassive Black Hole Binary
S. Kiehlmann, P. V. de la Parra, A. G. Sullivan +31
Haystack and Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) observations recently revealed strong, intermittent, sinusoidal total flux-density variations that maintained coherence between 1…
