Formation and evolution of compact-object binaries in AGN disks

Abstract:

The astrophysical origin of gravitational wave (GW) events discovered by LIGO/VIRGO remains an outstanding puzzle. In active galactic nuclei (AGNs), compact-object binaries form, evolve, and interact with a dense star cluster and a gas disk. An important question is whether and how binaries merge in these environments. To address this question, we have performed one-dimensional N-body simulations combined with a semianalytical model that includes the formation, disruption, and evolution of bi...
