Dynamical Formation of Black Hole Mergers
Gravitational wave (GW) astrophysics is bound to have an exceptional future building on the success of LIGO/Virgo and propelled by the next generation of ground-based detectors (expected to see hundreds-of-thousands of GW sources per year) and space-borne observatories, such as LISA and DECIGO (that will make multi-band GW astrophysics a reality). This ERC research program will lead to new ideas and tools to probe in unprecedented ways the origin of binary black hole (BBH) mergers, with particular focus on constraining the dynamical formation of GW sources. I will address the outstanding question of how BBHs form and merge in our Universe by providing the GW community with: (1) - The first…
