Tue, 2020-06-02Within a hierarchically evolving Universe, binary black holes (BBHs) are expected to form through galaxy mergers. How these BBHs merge is, however, still under debate. Xian Chen and collaborators show that Poynting–Robertson (PR) drag, a radiative process whose effects are observed in the interaction between the Sun and dust in our Solar System, is applicable to BBHs and can play an important role in shrinking their orbits sufficiently for them to merge.
