Gravitational-wave sources
 
We are exploring a wide range of channels for the production of gravitational-wave sources and their properties, both from mergers of stellar objects as well as inspiraling objects onto massive black holes.
 
We proposed several novel channels for the production of GW sources, including gas-assisted mergers (e.g. McKernan...Perets et al.; Rozner & Perets); collisional field dynamics - wide binaries/triples in the field perturbed by flybs of field stars (e.g Michaely and Perets).
