Constraining the Cosmic Merger History of Intermediate-mass Black Holes with Gravitational Wave Detectors

Constraining the Cosmic Merger History of Intermediate-mass Black Holes with Gravitational Wave Detectors

Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) have not been detected beyond any reasonable doubt through either dynamical or accretion signatures. Gravitational waves (GWs) represent an unparalleled opportunity to survey the sky and detect mergers of IMBHs, making it possible for the first time to constrain...
