Modeling of Emission Signatures of Massive Black Hole Binaries: I Methods

Bogdanovic, Tamara, Smith, Britton D., Sigurdsson, Steinn et al.

Understand

We model the electromagnetic signatures of massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) with an associated gas component.

The method comprises numerical simulations of relativistic binaries and gas coupled with calculations of the physical properties of the emitting gas.
We calculate the UV/X-ray and the Halpha light curves and the Halpha emission profiles.
The simulations are carried out with a modified version of the parallel tree SPH code Gadget.
