Circumbinary accretion: From binary stars to massive binary black holes
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 …

Formation and evolution of compact-object binaries in AGN disks
The astrophysical origin of gravitational wave (GW) events discovered by LIGO/VIRGO
remains an outstanding puzzle. In active galactic nuclei (AGNs), compact-object binaries …

The redshift evolution of the binary black hole merger rate: A weighty matter
LAC Van Son, SE De Mink, T Callister… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Gravitational-wave detectors are starting to reveal the redshift evolution of the binary black
hole (BBH) merger rate, R BBH (z). We make predictions for R BBH (z) as a function of black …

Assisted inspirals of stellar mass black holes embedded in AGN discs: solving the 'final au problem'
We explore the evolution of stellar mass black hole binaries (BHBs) which are formed in the
self-gravitating discs of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Hardening due to three-body scattering …
