Massive binary black holes in galactic nuclei and their path to coalescence
M Colpi - Space Science Reviews, 2014 - Springer
Massive binary black holes (10 5 M⊙–10 9 M⊙) form at the centre of galaxies that
experience a merger episode. They are expected to coalesce into a larger black hole …

The Romulus cosmological simulations: a physical approach to the formation, dynamics and accretion models of SMBHs
We present a novel implementation of supermassive black hole (SMBH) formation,
dynamics and accretion in the massively parallel tree+ SPH code, ChaNGa. This approach …
