Accretion from Winds of Red Giant Branch Stars May Reveal the Supermassive Black Hole in Leo I
Fabio Pacucci, Abraham Loeb
A supermassive black hole (SMBH) of was recently detected via dynamical measurements at the center of the dwarf galaxy Leo I. Standing o…
A vast population of wandering and merging IMBHs at cosmic noon
Tiziana Di Matteo, Yueying Ni, Nianyi Chen +5
Massive black holes in the centers of galaxies today must have grown by several orders of magnitude from seed black holes formed at early times. Detecting a population of intermedi…
Prospects to Explore High-redshift Black Hole Formation with Multi-band Gravitational Waves Observatories
Hsin-Yu Chen, Angelo Ricarte, Fabio Pacucci
The assembly of massive black holes in the early universe remains a poorly constrained open question in astrophysics. The merger and accretion of light seeds (remnants of Populatio…
Dynamics of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes Wandering in the Milky Way Galaxy Using the Illustris TNG50 Simulation
Emma Jane Weller, Fabio Pacucci, Lars Hernquist +1
The detection of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes (IMBHs) in dwarf galaxies is crucial to closing the gap in the wide mass distribution of black holes ( to $\…
Detection Prospects of Local Super-Massive Black Holes Based on the Sloan-Digital Sky Survey
Nadav Joseph Outmezguine, Fabio Pacucci, Abraham Loeb
We use the Sloan-Digital Sky Survey quasar catalog to statistically infer the local abundance of black holes heavier than , which allows us to estimate the detection p…
The Active Fraction of Massive Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies
Fabio Pacucci, Mar Mezcua, John A. Regan
The population of massive black holes (MBHs) in dwarf galaxies is elusive, but fundamentally important to understand the coevolution of black holes with their hosts and the formati…
