The Assembly and Merging History of Supermassive Black Holes in Hierarchical Models of Galaxy Formation

TL;DR: In this article, a model for the assembly of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the center of galaxies that trace their hierarchical buildup far up in the dark halo merger tree is presented.

Laser Interferometer Space Antenna

TL;DR: The LISA Consortium as mentioned in this paper proposed a 4-year mission in response to ESA's call for missions for L3, which is an all-sky monitor and will offer a wide view of a dynamic cosmos using Gravitational Waves as new and unique messengers to unveil The Gravitational Universe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of supermassive black holes by direct collapse in pre-galactic haloes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a mechanism by which supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can form directly in the nuclei of protogalaxies, without the need for'seed' black holes left over from early star formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of supermassive black holes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review some of the physical processes that are conducive to the evolution of the massive black hole population and discuss black hole formation processes for'seed' black holes that are likely to place at early cosmic epochs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of Supermassive Black Holes by Direct Collapse in Pregalactic Halos

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a mechanism by which supermassive black holes can form directly in the nuclei of protogalaxies, without the need for seed black holes left over from early star formation.
