« Merging massive black holes in the Obelisk simulation: properties, biases, spins, gravitational waves and electromagnetic counterparts »

Massive black hole (BH) mergers are predicted to be powerful sources of
low-frequency gravitational waves (GWs). Coupling the detection of GWs with
an electromagnetic (EM) detection can provide key information. Another
important question is how the astrophysical information extracted from BH
mergers can inform us about BH evolution. We analyse the high-resolution
cosmological radiation-hydrodynamics simulation Obelisk, run to redshift
z=3.5, to study the properties of the merging BH population, its
differences with the underlying global BH population in terms of BH and
galaxy properties, and its detectability in GW and EM domains, modelling
spectral energy distribution and obscuration.
