Stereoscopic gravitational-wave probe: Gravitational lensing of a binary merger in active galactic nuclei
Paul Martens, Samson H. W. Leong, Ryan Zhang +1
Recent work has shown that, if a large fraction of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA compact binary coalescences (CBCs) occur in accretion disks around active galactic nuclei (AGNs), many such…
When the black holes align: a subpopulation of aligned massive binary black holes observed via gravitational waves
Stefano Rinaldi, Charmaine Wong, M. Paola Vaccaro +4
In this work, we investigate the features present in the joint primary mass and effective spin distribution of binary black holes without relying on specific modelling assumptions.…
Kick & spin: new probes for multi-messenger black-hole mergers in AGNs
Samson H. W. Leong, Juan Calderón Bustillo
Recoiling remnants of black-hole mergers in dense environments can produce bright electromagnetic (EM) counterparts to the gravitational-wave (GW) emission. Significance assessment…
Constraining binary mergers in AGN disks using the non-observation of lensed gravitational waves
Samson H. W. Leong, Justin Janquart, Aditya Kumar Sharma +3
The dense and dynamic environments within active galactic nuclei (AGN) accretion disks may serve as prolific birthplaces for binary black holes (BBHs) and one possible origin for s…
