Black Holes

Scientific paper

If, as argued by some, the cores of most galaxies contain supermassive black holes, galaxy-galaxy collisions could lead to their coalescence and a consequent emission of gravitational radiation. For holes with masses >=106M0, the amplitude of this radiation should be sufficiently large (metric perturbation ~10-18-10-17) as to be detectable at the present horizon distance scrRH~1010 light years using current technology. It is shown here that there is solid evidence indicating that galaxy collisions could have been sufficiently frequent at early times (redshifts z~2-3) to lead to a rate of potentially observable events as short as one every ~1-100 yr.
