Secular Spin–Orbit Resonances of Black Hole Binaries in AGN Disks

Secular Spin–Orbit Resonances of Black Hole Binaries in AGN Disks

The spin–orbit misalignment of stellar-mass black hole (sBH) binaries provides important constraints on the formation channels of merging sBHs. Here, we study the role of secular spin–orbit resonance in the evolution of an sBH binary component around a supermassive BH (SMBH) in an AGN disk. We consi...
