Monte-Carlo simulations of black hole mergers in AGN disks: Low mergers and predictions for LIGO
B. McKernan, K. E. S. Ford, R. O'Shaughnessy +1
Accretion disks around supermassive black holes are promising sites for stellar mass black hole mergers detectable with LIGO. Here we present the results of Monte-Carlo simulations…

Hierarchical Black Hole Mergers in Active Galactic Nuclei
Yang Yang, Imre Bartos, V. Gayathri +8
The origins of the stellar-mass black hole mergers discovered by LIGO/Virgo are still unknown. Here we show that, if migration traps develop in the \add{accretion} disks of Active…
