Supermassive Black Hole Merger Rates: Uncertainties from Halo Merger Theory
The merger of two supermassive black holes is expected to produce a gravitational-wave signal detectable by the satellite LISA. The rate of supermassive-black-hole mergers is intimately connected to the halo merger rate, and the extended Press–Schechter formalism is often employed when calculating the rate at which these events will be observed by LISA. This merger theory is flawed and provides...
متن کاملThe Role of Primordial Kicks on Black Hole Merger Rates
Primordial stars are likely to be very massive ≥ 30 M⊙, form in isolation, and will likely leave black holes as remnants in the centers of their host dark matter halos in the mass range 10 − 10 M⊙. Such early black holes, at redshifts z∼ 10, could be the seed black holes for the many supermassive black holes found in galaxies in the local universe. If they exist, their mergers with nearby super...
متن کاملPossible evidence for the ejection of a supermassive black hole from an ongoing merger of galaxies
Attempts of Magain et al (2005) to detect the host galaxy of the bright QSO HE0450– 2958 have not been successful. We suggest that the supermassive black hole powering the QSO was ejected from the observed ULIRG at the same redshift and at 1.5 arcsec distance. Ejection could have either be caused by recoil due to gravitational wave emission from a coalescing binary of supermassive black holes o...
متن کاملBinary black hole merger dynamics and waveforms
We study dynamics and radiation generation in the last few orbits and merger of a binary black hole system, applying recently developed techniques for simulations of moving black holes. Our analysis of the gravitational radiation waveforms and dynamical black hole trajectories produces a consistent picture for a set of simulations with black holes beginning on circular-orbit trajectories at a v...
