    abstract

      Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are expected by the hierarchical galaxy formation  model in ΛCDM cosmology. A binary may become stalling at the parsec scale and is expected to  be detected in nearby normal gas-poor galaxies, which are have not yet comfirmed by  observations because we do not have efficient methods to detect them. In this talk, I will  introduce a possible method to detect a SMBHB in normal galaxies. As in the hierarchical  galaxy formation model, today's galaxies are the product of frequent galaxy merging,  triggering the activity of active galactic nuclei in gas-rich mergers. During the talk, we  will also investigate the interaction of SMBBHs and an accretion disc and show that the  stalling can be avoided due to reached, which would give rise to the rich observational  signatures.
