Constraining Stellar-mass Black Hole Mergers in AGN Disks Detectable with LIGO
Black hole (BH) mergers detectable with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) can occur in active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks. Here we parameterize the merger rates, the mass spectrum, and the spin spectrum of BHs in AGN disks. The predicted merger rate spans ~10−3–104 Gpc−...
