The quest for dual and binary supermassive black holes: A multi-messenger view

A De Rosa, C Vignali, T Bogdanović, PR Capelo… - New Astronomy …, 2019 - Elsevier
The quest for binary and dual supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the dawn of the multi-

What drives the growth of black holes?

DM Alexander, RC Hickox - New Astronomy Reviews, 2012 - Elsevier
Massive black holes (BHs) are at once exotic and yet ubiquitous, residing at the centers of
massive galaxies in the local Universe. Recent years have seen remarkable advances in …

Growing supermassive black holes in the late stages of galaxy mergers are heavily obscured

C Ricci, FE Bauer, E Treister… - Monthly Notices of …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Mergers of galaxies are thought to cause significant gas inflows to the inner parsecs, which
can activate rapid accretion on to supermassive black holes (SMBHs), giving rise to active …
