Description
Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are exceptional multi-messenger targets, since on top of their low-frequency gravitational waves (GW), they may emit bright electromagnetic (EM) emission. I will describe a recently developed joint likelihood method that combines EM and pulsar timing array (PTA) data, which was shown to improve the binary parameter estimation. I will also discuss the prospects and challenges in finding the host galaxy once PTAs detect the first individually resolved binary.
