Description
Despite eight years since the initial detection of gravitational waves from stellar-mass compact-object binaries, the astrophysical origin of these phenomena remains elusive. Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in a novel gravitational wave formation pathway: the active galactic nuclei (AGN) channel. I will describe the key features of the AGN channel, discuss our ongoing efforts in modeling compact objects within accretion disks in AGNs, and highlight the primary challenges associated with modeling black hole-gas disk interactions. Partially based on: arXiv:2403.00060, arXiv:2312.13281
