28. The massive black hole binary path to coalescence

Matteo Bonetti (University of Milano-Bicocca)

Invited Speaker

Massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) are expected to form at the centre of merging galaxies during the hierarchical assembly of the cosmic structure and are expected to be the loudest sources of gravitational waves (GWs) in the low frequency domain surveyed by the ongoing Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) campaigns and by the forthcoming LISA observatory.

23. The effects of orbital precession on hyperbolic encounters

Marienza Caldarola (Instituto de Física Teórica UAM-CSIC)

Invited Speaker

The hyperbolic encounters of two massive objects are characterized by the emission of a gravitational wave burst, with most of the energy released during the closest approach (near the periastron). The detection of such events, different from the well-known inspiral emission, would be an interesting discovery and provide complementary information to observations of binary mergers of black...
