Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Zhongfu Zhang, Xian Chen, , , | Summary: Recent astrophysical models predict that stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs) could form and coalesce within a few gravitational radii of a supermassive black hole (SMBH). Detecting the gravitational waves (GWs) from such systems requires numerical tools which can track […]
