Self-lensing flares from black hole binaries IV: the number of detectable shadows
Sub-parsec supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries are expected to be common in active
galactic nuclei (AGN), as a result of the hierarchical build-up of galaxies via mergers. While …

A Parameter Study of the Electromagnetic Signatures of an Analytical Mini-Disk Model for Supermassive Binary Black Hole Systems
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are thought to be located at the centers of most galactic
nuclei. When galaxies merge they form supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) systems …
