TL;DR
This paper proposes a novel observational link between gravitational waves from supermassive black hole mergers and electromagnetic flares caused by jet variability due to spin-orbit precession.
Contribution
It introduces a new model connecting gravitational wave signals with electromagnetic jet variability in supermassive black hole mergers.
Findings
Identifies a dual emission mechanism involving gravitational waves and electromagnetic flares.
Suggests jet variability as an electromagnetic counterpart to gravitational wave signals.
Provides a framework for joint gravitational and electromagnetic observations of black hole mergers.
Abstract
We present a new type of observation relating the gravitational wave emission of supermassive black hole mergers to their electromagnetic counterparts. This dual emission involves variability of a relativistic jet arising from the spin-orbit precession of the supermassive black hole binary at its base.
