Suppressed "lump" EM signature in radiation pressure dominated accreting massive black hole binaries
Fabiola Cocchiararo, Alessia Franchini, Alessandro Lupi +1
We investigate the impact of radiation pressure on electromagnetic signatures of accreting massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) at milli-parsec separations, using 3D hyper-Lagrangia…
Variability in the supermassive black hole binary candidate SDSS J2320+0024: No evidence of periodic modulation
Fabio Rigamonti, Lorenzo Bertassi, Riccardo Buscicchio +5
Supermassive black hole binaries (SBHBs) are a natural outcome of galaxy mergers, and they are expected to be among the loudest gravitational-wave sources at low frequencies. The s…
Identifying massive black hole binaries via light curve variability in optical time-domain surveys
Alfredo Chiesa, David Izquierdo-Villalba, Alberto Sesana +5
Accreting massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) often display periodic variations in their emitted radiation, providing a distinctive signature for their identification. In this work…
Radiation pressure role in accreting massive black hole binaries
Fabiola Cocchiararo, Alessia Franchini, Alessandro Lupi +1
We investigate the impact of radiation pressure on the circumbinary discs surrounding accreting massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) at milli-parsec separations, using 3D hyper-Lagr…
