How to Escape from a Trap: Outcomes of Repeated Black Hole Mergers in Active Galactic Nuclei

How to Escape from a Trap: Outcomes of Repeated Black Hole Mergers in Active Galactic Nuclei

Stellar-mass black holes (BHs) embedded in active galactic nuclei (AGN) may be major sources of astrophysical gravitational waves (GWs), contributing both to the observed LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA population of binary BH mergers and to future populations of LISA-band extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs). The...
