Rapid and Bright Stellar-mass Binary Black Hole Mergers in Active Galactic Nuclei
Abstract The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) found direct evidence for double black hole binaries emitting gravitational waves. Galactic nuclei are expected to harbor the densest population of stellar-mass black holes. A significant fraction ( <?CDATA $\sim 30 \% $?> ) of these black holes can reside in binaries. We …
