AGN as potential factories for eccentric black hole mergers

J. Samsing et al.

Summary: New research has found that black hole mergers in active galactic nuclei disk environments can result in an excess of eccentric mergers compared to circular mergers. This phenomenon may be due to frequent interactions between single and binary black holes, as well as small mutual inclinations.

3-OGC: Catalog of Gravitational Waves from Compact-binary Mergers

Alexander H. Nitz et al.

Summary: The study presents the third open gravitational-wave catalog based on the analysis of LIGO and Virgo data from 2015 to 2019, including 57 observations with 4 previously unreported binary black hole mergers. The catalog includes 55 binary black hole mergers and 2 binary neutron star mergers, with the most confident new detection being the binary black hole merger GW190925_232845.

Who Ordered That? Unequal-mass Binary Black Hole Mergers Have Larger Effective Spins

Thomas A. Callister et al.

Summary: Hierarchical analysis of binary black hole detections by Advanced LIGO and Virgo reveals intrinsic correlations between mass ratio q and effective inspiral spins chi (eff), with more unequal-mass BBHs exhibiting larger spins. Proposed astrophysical formation channels predict correlations between spins and mass ratio, but typically in the opposite direction to the trend observed in the data.

Black Hole Mergers of AGN Origin in LIGO-Virgo's O1-O3a Observing Periods

V. Gayathri et al.

Summary: The study found that the active galactic nucleus model is more suitable for explaining black holes in the mass gap, but the results are still influenced by AGN model parameters. A 20% contribution of AGN-disk origin events can reproduce the black hole mass distribution in the pair-instability mass gap well, with minimal impact on the lower-mass black hole population.

Symmetry Breaking in Dynamical Encounters in the Disks of Active Galactic Nuclei

Evolution of gas disc-embedded intermediate mass ratio inspirals in the LISA band

A. Derdzinski et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of torques on the inspiral of supermassive black holes and companion black holes in active galactic nuclei discs on GW waveforms. The results show that gas torques have a significant effect on the waveforms and may be detectable by LISA.

Stellar Evolution in AGN Disks

Matteo Cantiello et al.

Summary: AGN stars, embedded in extreme astrophysical environments, have different evolutionary conditions from normal stars, being strongly affected by mass accretion and loss, with chemical mixing playing a critical role in their evolution.

Orbital Evolution of Binary Black Holes in Active Galactic Nucleus Disks: A Disk Channel for Binary Black Hole Mergers?

Ya-Ping Li et al.

Summary: The study examines the merger of equal-mass binary black holes in AGN accretion disks, finding that the gravitational softening used for the binary has a significant impact. Prograde BBHs expand rather than harden with small softening, but harden with larger softening. Retrograde BBHs consistently harden regardless of softening, suggesting that gas-driven inspiral of retrograde binaries can lead to compact BBHs in the gravitational-wave-emitting regime.

Population Properties of Compact Objects from the Second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog

R. Abbott et al.

Summary: The study reveals unique characteristics of the merging binary black hole (BBH) population, including a specific primary mass spectrum and misaligned component spins leading to precession of the orbital plane. The research also estimates merger rates, indicating potential correlation between BBH rate and redshift but not exceeding the star formation rate. Additionally, recent exceptional events are examined in relation to population models, with GW190814 being identified as an outlier due to its low secondary mass.

GWTC-2: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo during the First Half of the Third Observing Run

R. Abbott et al.

Summary: This report presents 39 candidate gravitational-wave events detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between April 1, 2019 and October 1, 2019. The events include black hole binary mergers up to a redshift of approximately 0.8 and events where the components cannot be unambiguously identified. The range of candidate event masses has expanded compared to previous catalogs, with the inclusion of binary systems with asymmetric mass ratios.

Evolution of Retrograde Orbiters in an Active Galactic Nucleus Disk

Amy Secunda et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the impact of retrograde orbiters (ROs) in active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks on the formation and mergers of stellar-mass black hole binaries (BBHs), finding that their rapid evolution could lead to extreme mass ratio inspirals detectable by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, with collision rates dependent on the volume of the inner radiation-pressure-dominated region.
