Formation of Merging Stellar-mass Black Hole Binaries by Gravitational-wave Emission in Active Galactic Nucleus Disks
Many stellar-mass black holes (sBHs) are expected to orbit supermassive black holes at galactic centers. For galaxies with active galactic nuclei, it is likely that the sBHs reside in a disk. We study the formation of sBH binaries via gravitational-wave emission in such disks. We examine analyticall...
