Supermassive Black Holes as Revealed by LISA: How Gravitational Wave Astronomy Will be a Game Changer
Event Start:
2020-10-29T16:00:00
Event End:
2020-10-29T17:00:00
Event Information:
Astronomers now know that supermassive black holes are in nearly every galaxy. Though these black holes are an observational certainty, nearly every aspect of their evolution - from their birth, to their fuel source, to their basic dynamics - is a matter of lively debate. Fortunately, LISA, a space-based gravitational wave observatory set to launch in 2034, will revolutionize this field by providing data that is complementary to electromagnetic observations, as well as data in regimes that are electromagnetically dark.
