Nuthin’ but a ‘AGN’ Thang
In today’s paper, the authors use simulations to investigate how intermediate mass black holes might form in AGN disks.
Don’t Be So Cold – Self-Interacting Dark Matter as a Solution to the ‘Final Parsec Problem’
In today’s bite, we look at a paper that investigates if self-interacting dark matter can accelerate the inspiral of supermassive black holes binaries, and if we can detect this with gravitational waves.
Can you hear the (ultralow-frequency gravitational wave) music?
Gravitational waves hum in various frequencies. Can we hear the ultralow frequency ones ? Find out in today’s bite.
Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Dr. Carl Rodriguez
We interview Dr. Carl Rodriguez, professor at UNC Chapel Hill and the recipient of the 2024 Helen B. Warner Prize for Astronomy at #AAS244!
How do Merger Environments Affect Gravitational Waves?
Is it possible to detect the environments around compact binary mergers observed with LIGO-Virgo? The authors of today’s paper explore!
Source Needed: Could Signal Confusion Hurt Next-Gen Gravitational Wave Detectors?
Today’s paper takes a prospective look at possible concerns for future gravitational wave observations, and finds that perhaps no concern is needed.
