Exploring the Black Hole Population with an Open Mind
WEBApr 8, 2024 · In the absence of these models, a common approach has been to fit the binary black hole population with simple, phenomenological models. Guided by theoretical predictions, gravitational-wave data analysts propose various features expected to describe the black hole population.
Binary Black Hole Mergers: Formation and Populations
WEBJul 8, 2020 · We review the main physical processes that lead to the formation of stellar binary black holes (BBHs) and to their merger. BBHs can form from the isolated evolution of massive binary stars.
NASA Visualization Probes the Doubly Warped World of Binary Black Holes
WEBApr 15, 2021 · In this visualization, available in HD and 4K, a binary system containing two supermassive black holes and their accretion disks is initially viewed from above. After about 25 seconds, the camera tips close to the orbital plane to reveal the most dramatic distortions produced by their gravity.
