Multimessenger Probes of Supermassive Black Hole Spin Evolution by Angelo Ricarte, Priyamvada Natarajan, Ramesh Narayan, Daniel C. M. Palumbo

“…In addition, we show that the spin distribution sampled by LISA events may contain a signature of the natal spin distribution of heavy seeds, but not of light seeds, offering additional discrimination between these seeding pathways. Spin distributions from these future observed samples can be used to constrain the detailed physical properties of the accretion flow on horizon scales around SMBHs.…”
