Description
Supermassive binary black holes (SMBHBs) are by-products of our theories of galaxy formation, crucial gravitational wave (GW) sources that will be observed with future observatories such as LISA. In this talk, we will give an overview of the subject, focusing on the expected SMBHB electromagnetic counterparts. We will present new calculations of the EM emission that take into account the physics of accretion and jets and discuss the connection with GWs. SMBHBs should be accompanied by ultra-long multiwavelength bursts, strongly correlated with the GW signal.
