- Astronomy Colloquium
- Supermassive black hole binaries: The Search Continues
- Time: 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
- Place: 4421 Sterling Hall
- Speaker: Tamara Bogdanovvic, Georgia Tech
- Abstract: Gravitationally bound supermassive black hole binaries are thought to be a natural product of galactic mergers and growth of the large scale structure in the universe. They however remain observationally elusive, thus raising a question about characteristic observational signatures associated with these systems. In my talk I will discuss current theoretical understanding and latest advances made in observational searches for supermassive black hole binaries.
- Host: Audra Hernandez
