ABSTRACT We analyse triple systems composed of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) near the centre of M87 and a pair of black holes (BHs) with masses in the range of $10{-}10^3\, {\rm M}_{\odot }$. We consider the post Newtonian precession as well as the Kozai–Lidov interactions at the quadruple and octupole levels in modelling the evolution of binary black hole (BBH) under the influence of the SMBH. Kozai–Lidov oscillations enhance the gravitational wave (GW) signal in some portions of the parameter space. We identify frequency peaks and examine the detectability of GWs with LISA as well as future observatories such as μAres and DECIGO. We show examples in which GW signal can be observed with a few or all of these detectors. Multiwavelength GW spectroscopy holds the potential to discover stellar to intermediate mass BHs near the centre of M87. We estimate the rate, Γ, of collisions between the BBHs and fly-by stars at the centre of M87. Our calculation suggest $\Gamma \lt 10\, \rm {Gyr}^{-1}$ for a wide range of the mass and semimajor axes of the inner binary.

After first reviewing the gravitational wave (GW) spectral classification. we discuss the sensitivities of GW detection in space aimed at low frequency band (100 nHz–100 mHz) and middle frequency band (100 mHz–10 Hz). The science goals are to detect GWs from (i) Supermassive Black Holes; (ii) Extreme-Mass-Ratio Black Hole Inspirals; (iii) Intermediate-Mass Black Holes; (iv) Galactic Compact Binaries; (v) Stellar-Size Black Hole Binaries; and (vi) Relic GW Background. The detector proposals have arm length ranging from 100 km to 1.35×109 km (9 AU) including (a) Solar orbiting detectors and (b) Earth orbiting detectors. We discuss especially the sensitivities in the frequency band 0.1-10 μHz and the middle frequency band (0.1 Hz–10 Hz). We propose and discuss AMIGO as an Astrodynamical Middlefrequency Interferometric GW Observatory.

AbstractDetecting the seed black holes from which quasars formed is extremely challenging; however, those seeds that did not grow into supermassive should be found as intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) of 100 – 105 M⊙ in local dwarf galaxies. The use of deep multiwavelength surveys has revealed that a population of actively accreting IMBHs (low-mass AGN) exists in dwarf galaxies at least out to z ˜3. The black hole occupation fraction of these galaxies suggests that the early Universe seed black holes formed from direct collapse of gas, which is reinforced by the possible flattening of the black hole-galaxy scaling relations at the low-mass end. This scenario is however challenged by the finding that AGN feedback can have a strong impact on dwarf galaxies, which implies that low-mass AGN in dwarf galaxies might not be the untouched relics of the early seed black holes. This has important implications for seed black hole formation models.
