We review recent works on the dynamics of circumbinary accretion, including time variability,
angular momentum transfer between the disk and the binary, and the secular evolution of …

Gravitational waves from supermassive black hole binaries in light of the NANOGrav 15-year data

J Ellis, M Fairbairn, G Hütsi, J Raidal, J Urrutia… - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
The NANOGrav and other pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) have recently announced evidence

Merger rate of primordial black-hole binaries

Y Ali-Haïmoud, ED Kovetz, M Kamionkowski - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
Primordial black holes (PBHs) have long been a candidate for the elusive dark matter (DM),
