Inferring the Astrophysical Population of Black Hole Binaries

Document #:

LIGO-T1700223-v1

Document type:

T - Technical notes

Abstract:

The overarching goal of our project is to construct a simulation of Binary Black Holes (BBH) that extends to the most distant galaxies in the observable universe. From these simulations, we will make inferences about the formation and evolution of binary black hole systems.
