The Decoupling of Binaries from Their Circumbinary Disks

We have investigated, both analytically and numerically, accreting supermassive black hole binaries as they inspiral due to gravitational radiation to elucidate the decoupling of binaries from their disks and inform future multimessenger observations of these systems. Our numerical studies evolve eq...
