The cosmological distribution of compact object mergers from dynamical interactions with SMBH binaries
Yi-Han Wang, Nathan Leigh, Alberto Sesana +1
We combine sophisticated high precision scattering experiments, together with results from the Millenium-II simulation, to compute the cosmic merger rate of bound compact object (C…
Binary Mergers near a Supermassive Black Hole: Relativistic Effects in Triples
Bin Liu, Dong Lai, Yi-Han Wang
We study the general relativitic (GR) effects induced by a spinning supermassive black hole on the orbital and spin evolution of a merging black hole binary (BHB) in a hierarchical…
Black Hole and Neutron Star Binary Mergers in Triple Systems: II. Merger Eccentricity and Spin-Orbit Misalignment
Bin Liu, Dong Lai, Yi-Han Wang
We study the dynamical signatures of black hole (BH) and neutron star (NS) binary mergers via Lidov-Kozai oscillations induced by tertiary companions in hierarchical triple systems…
Multi-Messenger Astronomy with Extremely Large Telescopes
Ryan Chornock, Philip S. Cowperthwaite, Raffaella Margutti +82
The field of time-domain astrophysics has entered the era of Multi-messenger Astronomy (MMA). One key science goal for the next decade (and beyond) will be to characterize gravitat…
Constraining the Black Hole Initial Mass Function with LIGO/VIRGO Observations
Rosalba Perna, Yi-Han Wang, Will M. Farr +2
Prior to the detection of black holes (BHs) via the gravitational waves (GWs) they generate at merger, the presence of BHs was inferred in X-ray binaries, mostly via dynamical meas…
