Parsec-scale massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) are expected to form in hierarchical models of structure formation. Even though different observational strategies have been designed to detect these systems, a theoretical study is a further guide for their search and identification. In this work, we investigate the hosts properties and the electromagnetic signatures of massive black holes gravitationally bound on parsec-scales with primary mass $\rm {>}\,10^7\,M_{\odot}$. For that, we construct a full-sky lightcone by the use of the semi-analytical model L-Galaxies in which physically motivated prescriptions for the formation and evolution of MBHBs have been included. Our predictions show that the large majority of the MBHBs are placed either in spiral galaxies with a classical bulge structure or in elliptical galaxies. Besides, the scaling relations followed by MBHBs are indistinguishable from the ones of single massive black holes. We find that the occupation fraction of parsec-scale MBHBs reaches up to ${\sim}\,50\%$ in galaxies with $\rm M_{stellar}\,{>}\,10^{11}\, M_{\odot}$ and drops below 10\% for $\rm M_{stellar}\,{<}\,10^{11}\, M_{\odot}$. Our model anticipates that the majority of parsec-scale MBHBs are unequal mass systems and lie at $z\,{\sim}\,0.5$, with ${\sim}\,20$ objects per $\rm deg^2$ in the sky. However, most of these systems are inactive, and only $1\,{-}\,0.1$ objects per $\rm deg^2$ have an electromagnetic counterpart with a bolometric luminosity in excess of $10^{43}$ erg/s. Very luminous phases of parsec-scale MBHBs are more common at $z\,{>}\,1$ but the number of binaries per $\rm deg^2$ is ${\lesssim}\,0.01$ at $\rm L_{\rm bol}\,{>}\,10^{45} \rm erg/s$.

Unveiling the inner morphology and gas kinematics of NGC 5135 with ALMA
本星系NGC 5135,由于其几乎面对面的外观,一个凸起的过密度的恒星,一个大规模的酒吧,活动星系核和超新星遗迹的存在,是一个很好的目标,调查流入,流出,恒星形成和活动星系核反馈的动力学。在这里,我们提出了一个重建的气体形态和运动学在这个星系的内部区域,根据阿塔卡马大毫米阵列(ALMA)档案数据的分析。为了我们的目的,我们结合现有的$\sim$ 100 pc分辨率ALMA 1.3和0.45毫米观测尘埃连续发射,光谱图的CO分子(示踪剂的分子质量在恒星形成和核区域),和CS分子(示踪剂的致密恒星形成区域)的SED分解的结果。利用$^{\rm 3D}$ BAROLO软件(3D-Based Analysis of Rotating Object via Line Observations)拟合星系自转曲线,重建了星系盘的3D斜环模型。我们的运动学模型所描述的观测到的发射功能。我们还试图解释的排放在几个地区的轴对称模型未能重现。其中最相关的是在北部边缘的内部酒吧,其中多个速度分量重叠的区域,作为一个超级气泡的膨胀的可能后果。

Unveiling the circumstellar environment towards a massive young stellar object
作为以前工作的延续,我们发现了强有力的证据,大规模的分子外流到一个大规模的恒星形成的网站,我们提出了一个新的研究,这一地区的基础上非常高的角分辨率的观测,目的是发现外流驱动机制。使用Gemini-NIRI在宽H和KS波段获得的近红外数据,我们研究了UCHII区域G045.47+0.05周围的22”x 22”区域,这是一个距离约为8 kpc的大质量恒星形成地点。为了尽可能以最高的空间分辨率对源成像,我们采用了自适应光学系统ALTAIR,实现了约0.15”的角分辨率。我们在红外源2 MASS J19142564+1109283处发现了一个向东延伸的锥状星云,其张开角约为90度,很可能是一个MYSO。这种形态表明,在拱星物质中清除了一个空腔,其发射可能来自散射的连续光,温暖的尘埃,以及可能来自冲击激发气体的发射线。该星云呈弧形特征,通过喷流状结构与红外源相连,与先前研究中发现的蓝移CO外流一致。近红外结构位于射电连续辐射以北约3”处,表明它在空间上与UCHII区域不一致。观测到的近红外星云的形态和结构强烈地暗示了旋进喷流的存在。在这项研究中,我们已经解决了拱星环境(规模为一千A.U.)一个遥远的MYSO,事实上是最遥远的案例之一。
