Spin-Orbit Misalignments of Eccentric Black Hole Mergers in AGN Disks

Gaia Fabj, Christopher Tiede, Connar Rowan +2

The disks of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) provide a natural environment where stellar-mass black holes (BHs) can dynamically pair, undergo repeated interactions, and eventually me…

Importance of relativistic pericenter precession in identifying the presence of a third body near eccentric binaries

Pankaj Saini, Lorenz Zwick, János Takátsy +5

Many astrophysical processes can produce gravitational wave (GW) sources with significant orbital eccentricity. These binaries emit bursts of gravitational radiation during each pe…

Hydrodynamic simulations of black hole evolution in AGN discs I: orbital alignment of highly inclined satellites

Connar Rowan, Henry Whitehead, Gaia Fabj +3

The frequency of compact object interactions in AGN discs is naturally tied to the number of objects embedded within it. We investigate the evolution of black holes in the nuclear…

The construction and use of dephasing prescriptions for environmental effects in gravitational wave astronomy

János Takátsy, Lorenz Zwick, Kai Hendriks +3

In the first part of this work, we provide a curated overview of the theoretical framework necessary for incorporating dephasing due to environmental effects (EE) in gravitational…

Prompt gravitational-wave mergers aided by gas in Active Galactic Nuclei: The hydrodynamics of binary-single black hole scatterings

Connar Rowan, Henry Whitehead, Gaia Fabj +4

Black hole binary systems embedded in AGN discs have been proposed as a source of the observed gravitational waves (GWs) from LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA. Studies have indicated binary-single…

Mapping the Outcomes of Stellar Evolution in the Disks of Active Galactic Nuclei

Gaia Fabj, Alexander J. Dittmann, Matteo Cantiello +2

The disks of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are expected to be populated by numerous stars, either formed in the outer regions of the disk via gravitational instability, or captured…

Eccentric Mergers in AGN Discs: Influence of the Supermassive Black-Hole on Three-body Interactions

Gaia Fabj, Johan Samsing

There are indications that stellar-origin black holes (BHs) are efficiently paired up in binary black holes (BBHs) in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) disc environments, which can unde…

Aligning Retrograde Nuclear Cluster Orbits with an Active Galactic Nucleus Accretion Disc

Syeda S. Nasim, Gaia Fabj, Freddy Caban +6

Stars and stellar remnants orbiting a supermassive black hole (SMBH) can interact with an active galactic nucleus (AGN) disc. Over time, prograde orbiters (inclination $i<90^{\circ…

Astrophysics with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna

Pau Amaro Seoane, Jeff Andrews, Manuel Arca Sedda +156

The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be a transformative experiment for gravitational wave astronomy, and, as such, it will offer unique opportunities to address many…

Aligning Nuclear Cluster Orbits with an Active Galactic Nucleus Accretion Disk

Gaia Fabj, Syeda S. Nasim, Freddy Caban +3

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are powered by the accretion of disks of gas onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Stars and stellar remnants orbiting the SMBH in the nuclear star cl…
