The Hydrodynamic Evolution of Binary Black Holes Embedded within the Vertically Stratified Disks of Active Galactic Nuclei

The Hydrodynamic Evolution of Binary Black Holes Embedded within the Vertically Stratified Disks of Active Galactic Nuclei

Stellar-mass black holes can become embedded within the disks of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Afterwards, their interactions are mediated by their gaseous surroundings. Here, we study the evolution of stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs) embedded within AGN disks using three-dimensional hydrodyn...
