Measuring the properties of active galactic nuclei disks with gravitational waves
Avi Vajpeyi, Eric Thrane, Rory Smith +2
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are promising environments for the assembly of merging binary black hole (BBH) systems. Interest in AGNs as nurseries for merging BBH is rising followi…

LIGO--Virgo correlations between mass ratio and effective inspiral spin: testing the active galactic nuclei channel
B. McKernan, K. E. S. Ford, T. Callister +5
Observations by LIGO--Virgo of binary black hole mergers suggest a possible anti-correlation between black hole mass ratio () and the effective inspiral spin paramet…

A follow-up on intermediate-mass black hole candidates in the second LIGO-Virgo observing run with the Bayes Coherence Ratio
Avi Vajpeyi, Rory Smith, Eric Thrane +7
The detection of an intermediate-mass black hole population ( ) will provide clues to their formation environments (e.g., disks of active galactic nuclei, glo…
