Signatures of Compact Object Mergers Inside Stars in AGN Disks

Matteo Cantiello, Alexander J. Dittmann, Saavik Ford +4

Disks of gas accreting onto supermassive black holes, powering active galactic nuclei (AGN), can capture stars from nuclear star clusters or form stars in situ via gravitational in…

Effective two-body scatterings around a massive object

Yihan Wang, Saavik Ford, Rosalba Perna +3

Two-body scatterings under the potential of a massive object are very common in astrophysics. If the massive body is far enough away that the two small bodies are in their own grav…

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…

Symmetry Breaking in Dynamical Encounters in the Disks of Active Galactic Nuclei

Yihan Wang, Barry McKernan, Saavik Ford +3

Active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks may be important sites of binary black hole (BBH) mergers. Here we show via numerical experiments with the high-accuracy, high precision code {\…

The missing link in gravitational-wave astronomy: A summary of discoveries waiting in the decihertz range

Manuel Arca Sedda, Christopher P L Berry, Karan Jani +25

Since 2015 the gravitational-wave observations of LIGO and Virgo have transformed our understanding of compact-object binaries. In the years to come, ground-based gravitational-wav…

The Habitable Exoplanet Observatory (HabEx) Mission Concept Study Final Report

B. Scott Gaudi, Sara Seager, Bertrand Mennesson +183

The Habitable Exoplanet Observatory, or HabEx, has been designed to be the Great Observatory of the 2030s. For the first time in human history, technologies have matured sufficient…

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…

Multimessenger science opportunities with mHz gravitational waves

John Baker, Zoltán Haiman, Elena Maria Rossi +32

LISA will open the mHz band of gravitational waves (GWs) to the astronomy community. The strong gravity which powers the variety of GW sources in this band is also crucial in a num…

Planetary system, star formation, and black hole science with non-redundant masking on space telescopes

Anand Sivaramakrishnan, Peter Tuthill, Michael Ireland +5

Non-redundant masking (NRM) is a high contrast, high resolution technique relevant to future space missions concerned with extrasolar planetary system and star formation, as well a…
