We investigate the evolution of supermassive binary black holes (BBHs) in galaxies with realistic property distributions and the gravitational-wave (GW) radiation from the cosmic population of these BBHs. We incorporate a comprehensive treatment of the dynamical interactions of the BBHs with their environments by including the effects of galaxy triaxial shapes and inner stellar distributions, and generate a large number of BBH evolution tracks. By combining these BBH evolution tracks, galaxy mass functions, galaxy merger rates, and supermassive black hole-host galaxy relations into our model, we obtain the statistical distributions of surviving BBHs, BBH coalescence rates, the strength of their GW radiation, and the stochastic GW background (GWB) contributed by the cosmic BBH population. About ~1%-3% (or ~10%) of supermassive BHs at nearby galactic centers are expected to be binaries with mass ratio >1/3 (or >1/100). The characteristic strain amplitude of the GWB at frequency 1/yr is estimated to be ~$2.0^{+1.4}_{-0.8}\times 10^{-16}$, and the upper bound of its results obtained with the different BH-host galaxy relations can be up to $5.4\times 10^{-16}$, which await testing by future experiments (e.g., the Square Kilometer Array, FAST, Next-Generation Very Large Array). The turnover frequency of the GWB spectrum is at ~0.25nHz. The uncertainties on the above estimates and prospects for detecting individual sources are also discussed. The application of the cosmic BBH population to the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) band provides a lower limit to the detection rate of BBHs by LISA, ~0.9/yr.

Revealing the Origin and Cosmic Evolution of Supermassive Black Holes
下一代电磁波和引力波天文台将为第一批超大质量黑洞的诞生打开前所未有的窗口。这有可能揭示它们在前十亿年的起源和成长,以及它们在本地宇宙中形成历史的特征。考虑到这一点,我们概述了三个关键的重点领域,将塑造研究在未来十年及以后:(1)什么是“种子”的第一类星体;如何达到10亿太阳质量之前,z $\sim7$?(2)黑洞的成长如何随宇宙时间而改变,黑洞的早期成长如何塑造它们的宿主星系?我们能从今天的中等质量黑洞和矮星系中学到什么?(3)我们能否在广义相对论的背景下解开黑洞吸积的物理学,理解流入和流出(喷流和风)?使用这些见解在恒星和超大质量黑洞之间进行缩放是否有效,即,黑洞吸积真尺度不变吗?在下文中,我们确定了加拿大天文学界在解决这些问题方面发挥主导作用的机会,特别是通过利用我们在事件视界望远镜、{ \it James Webb太空望远镜}(JWST)、欧几里得、莫纳克亚光谱探测器(MSE)、30米望远镜(TMT)、平方公里阵列(SKA)、用于光学和紫外线研究的宇宙学高级巡天望远镜(CASTOR)等。我们还讨论了与未来天基引力波(LISA)和X射线(例如,雅典娜,山猫)天文台,以及与恒星和星系演化社区合作的必要性,以建立一个完整的图片的诞生超大质量黑洞,他们的成长和他们的影响,在宇宙的历史。
