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-
messenger era is compelling. Detecting dual active galactic nuclei (AGN)–active SMBHs at …

Formation and evolution of compact-object binaries in AGN disks

H Tagawa, Z Haiman, B Kocsis - The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
