There will be a reception with refreshments at 3:30 PM in the lounge. All interested persons are cordially invited to attend.

ABSTRACT

Gravitationally bound supermassive black hole binaries are thought to be a natural product of galactic mergers and growth of the large-scale structure in the university.  They, however, remain observationally elusive, thus raising a question about characteristic observational signatures associated with these systems.

In my talk, I will discuss current theoretical understanding and latest advances made in the observational searches for supermassive black hole binaries.
