Observational Tests of Theory in Binary Systems - Part II

Explore observational tests of theory in binary systems through this 43-minute conference talk by Ian Czekala from Penn State. Delve into the complexities of circumbinary gas evolution, its influence on embedded binaries, and the most informative observational signatures. Learn about novel numerical techniques for modeling these systems as part of the "Building Bridges: Towards a Unified Picture of Stellar and Black Hole Binary Accretion and Evolution" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Gain insights into the similarities between massive black hole binaries and stellar binaries, and discover the crucial next steps in advancing our understanding of these astrophysical phenomena across varied scales.
