Evolution
Dynamical Friction
Gravitational Wave
Basic scenario:
1) a galaxy have a SMBH 2) galaxy merging often occurs 3) merged galaxy should have two SMBH in its center 4) two BH forms BBH system 5) they finally merge into one with gravitation wave burst

Good Target for VLBI Lifetime of BBH can be the longest between DF phase and GW phase
The most observable examples of BBHs will have
Separation ~ 0.01 - 1 pc (20 - 2000 micro-as @ 100Mpc)
Orbital period ~ 1 – 100 yr

Possible Evidence (1)Periodic Flux Variations

Possible Evidence(2)Jet shape

Twin jet (3C75) Precession jet (1928+738)

r ~ 10 pc

Combination of these methods is very important
![Page 10: Search for Binary Black Holes in Galactic Nuclei](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56815a6b550346895dc7c3f3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Periodic flare due to BBH How to find characteristic variation due to
BBH ? What is variation mechanism ? Theoretical study / simulations
Hayasaki et al. 2006
Multi-frequency observations are important
![Page 11: Search for Binary Black Holes in Galactic Nuclei](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56815a6b550346895dc7c3f3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Flux monitoring with KVN Searching for periodic variation with period of <
a few yr KVN is suitable for this project
• sensitive mm-wave (less jet contamination)• multi-frequency (22-120 GHz)
Combination with other wavelength • Note: X-ray all-sky monitoring facility MAXI will be
on board ISS in 2009
Based on monitoring results, we can go to further BBH search
![Page 12: Search for Binary Black Holes in Galactic Nuclei](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56815a6b550346895dc7c3f3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Problems of this idea Clarify importance of multi radio-frequency
• What is flaring mechanism at mm-wavelength ?• More theoretical study must be needed
Source selection criteria (merging or merged galaxy ? Sensitivity limited ?)
Probability to detect orbiting BHs• GW emitting phase would be very short (< 104 yr)
compared with AGN timescale (108 yr ?)
More detailed discussion needed
![Page 13: Search for Binary Black Holes in Galactic Nuclei](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56815a6b550346895dc7c3f3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
BBH is important target for VSOP-2
Longest baseline: 25,000 kmFrequency: 8, 22, and 43 GHzSpatial resolution: 40 micro-arcsec @ 43GLaunch: FY2012
High spatial resolution is essential, 40 micro-as 0.02 pc @ 100Mpc for detecting harder BBHs emitting gravitation wave!

Summary BBHs with r~0.1pc, P~10 yr would be
most observable examples Proposing idea of flux monitoring with
KVN, but needed more discussion Based on monitoring results, VSOP-2
could confirm the presence of BBH emitting gravitation waveHoping to much friendly collaborate with East-Asia people !
