Dynamical Formation of Merging Compact Binaries

CITA Presentations via YouTube

Overview

Explore the complex dynamics of compact binary formation in this research presentation by Cornell University's Dong Lai. Delve into the mechanisms and physical processes that govern how compact objects like black holes and neutron stars come together to form binary systems that eventually merge. Learn about the latest theoretical developments and observational evidence in this critical area of gravitational wave astronomy and stellar evolution. The 80-minute talk examines various dynamical pathways and formation channels that lead to the creation of these fascinating astronomical systems that are key sources for gravitational wave detectors.
