Description
Despite the growing number of candidates and the insight they have provided, the astrophysical sites and processes that produce the observed merging binaries remain uncertain. Multiple viable scenarios exist. The binary black holes could have formed in an isolated stellar binary (eg, Bethe & Brown 1998; Dominik et al. 2015; Inayoshi et al. 2017; Marchant et al. 2016; de Mink & Mandel 2016; Gallegos-Garcia et al. 2021), via dynamical interactions in dense stellar clusters (eg, Portegies Zwart & McMillan 2000; Banerjee et al. 2010; Ziosi et al. 2014; Morscher et al. 2015; Mapelli 2016; Rodriguez et al. 2016a; Askar et al. 2017) or triple systems (eg, Antonini et al. 2017; Martinez et al. 2020; Vigna-Gómez et al. 2021), or via gas capture in the disks of active galactic nuclei (AGN; eg, McKernan et al. 2012; Bartos et al. 2017; Fragione et al. 2019; Tagawa et al. 2020).
