A common result to all EMRI investigations on rates is that the possibility that a compact object merges with the MBH after only one intense burst of GWs is much more likely than a slow adiabatic inspiral, an EMRI. The later is referred to…
The inspiral of a stellar-mass compact object into a massive ($\sim 10^{4}$-$10^{7} M_{\odot}$) black hole produces an intricate gravitational-wave signal. Due to the extreme-mass ratios involved, these systems complete $\sim…
Stars on eccentric orbits around a massive black hole (MBH) emit bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) at periapse. Such events may be directly resolvable in the Galactic centre. However, if the star does not spiral in, the emitted GWs are…
Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) take place when a stellar-mass black hole (BH) merges with a supermassive black hole (SMBH). The gravitational wave emission from such an event is expected to be detectable by the future Laser…
