Binary Black Holes in Astrophysical Environments | |||||

Abstract |
Modeling the late inspiral and merger of supermassive black holes is central to understanding accretion processes and the conditions under which electromagnetic emission accompanies gravitational waves. In this regime, magneto-hydrodynamic numerical relativity simulations are needed to investigate how electromagnetic signatures correlate with black hole spins, mass ratios, and the gaseous environment in this final phase of binary evolution. I will review the current status of simulations that address binary black holes in hot accretion flows and circumbinary disks. |
