Gravitational-wave background from compact objects embedded in AGN accretion disks
Guenter Sigl, Jeremy Schnittman, Alessandra Buonanno
We consider a model in which massive stars form in a self-gravitating accretion disk around an active galactic nucleus (AGN). These stars may evolve and collapse to form compact ob…
Inspiral, merger and ring-down of equal-mass black-hole binaries
Alessandra Buonanno, Gregory B. Cook, Frans Pretorius
We investigate the dynamics and gravitational-wave (GW) emission in the binary merger of equal-mass black holes as obtained from numerical relativity simulations. Results from the…
Gravitational Waves from Compact Objects Accreting onto Active Galactic Nuclei
Jeremy D. Schnittman, Guenter Sigl, Alessandra Buonanno
We consider a model in which massive stars form in a self-gravitating accretion disk around an active galactic nucleus. These stars may evolve and collapse to form compact objects…
Higher-order spin effects in the dynamics of compact binaries I. Equations of motion
Guillaume Faye, Luc Blanchet, Alessandra Buonanno
We derive the equations of motion of spinning compact binaries including the spin-orbit (SO) coupling terms one post-Newtonian (PN) order beyond the leading-order effect. For black…
