Supermassive Black Holes and Stripped Supergiants: Significant Signals for Future Gravitational Wave Detectors

AUG 08, 2025
When a supermassive black hole captures a significantly smaller object, the interaction could produce gravitational waves that have not yet been detected. A new study explores such events and how future gravitational wave detectors may be able to feel them for years to come.
