We revisit the predictions for the merger rate of massive black hole binaries detectable by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and their background signal for pulsar-timing arrays. We focus on the effect of the delays between the merger of galaxies and the final coalescence of black hole binaries, and on supernova feedback on the black hole growth. By utilizing a semi-analytic galaxy formation model, not only do we account for the driving the evolution of binaries at separations $\lesssim 1$ pc (gas-driven migration, stellar hardening and triple/quadruple massive black hole systems), but we also improve on previous studies by accounting for the time spent by black hole pairs from kpc down to pc separation. We also include the effect of supernova feedback, which may eject gas from the nuclear region of low-mass galaxies, thus hampering the growth of black holes via accretion and suppressing their orbital migration in circumbinary disks. Despite including these novel physical effects, we predict that the LISA detection rate should still be $\gtrsim 2 \mbox{yr}^{-1}$, irrespective of the model for the black hole seeds at high redshifts. Scenarios where black holes form from $\sim100 M_\odot$ seeds are more significantly impacted by supernova feedback. We also find that for detectable events, the merging black holes typically have mass ratios between $\sim 0.1$ and $1$. Predictions for the stochastic background in the band of pulsar-timing array experiments are instead rather robust, and show only a mild dependence on the model.

A high resolution HI study towards the supernova remnant Puppis A and its environments
我们观察超新星遗迹(SNR)船尾座A在21厘米线与澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵列的目的是确定系统的速度,因此,相应的运动学距离。对于紧凑的,在现场的背景源,我们得到的吸收光谱,通过应用两种方法:(a)减去轮廓上和关闭源连续发射,和(b)过滤傅立叶平面中的短空间频率,以消除大规模的发射。船尾座A外壳东部最亮的特征之一被发现是背景源,可能是河外星系。除去这个和以前已知的不相关的源的贡献,船尾座A的系统速度被限制在8和12 km s $^{-1}$之间,这使得这个源的距离为1.3 $\pm$ 0.3 kpc。从包括单碟和干涉数据的组合图像中,我们分析了星际氢的分布。我们认为,如果距离为$\lesssim$ 1.2 kpc,那么在$v \sim $ +8 km s $^{-1}$处的椭球环可能是船尾座A的祖先吹出的气泡的遗迹。与以前的出版物($v =$ +16 km s $^{-1}$和$d = $ 2.2 kpc)相比,新的系统速度和距离的主要结果是在东方没有一个致密的相互作用云来解释形态,以及壳层尺寸和中子星速度的减小,现在与统计值更好地吻合。
