On the Rate of Detectability of Intermediate‐Mass Black Hole Binaries Using<i>LISA</i>
We estimate the rate at which the proposed space gravitational-wave interferometer LISA could detect intermediate-mass black-hole binaries, that is, binaries containing a black hole in the mass range 10 -- 100 Msun orbiting a black hole in the mass range 100 -- 1000 Msun. For one-year integrations leading up to …
