Rapid and bright stellar-mass binary black hole mergers in active galactic nuclei

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) found direct evidence for double black hole binaries emitting gravitational waves. Galactic nuclei are expected to harbor the densest population of stellar-mass black holes. A significant fraction (∼30%) of these black holes c...
