SUMMARY:Life and adventures of supermassive black hole binaries: the mythi
 cal final-parsec problem - Eugene Vasilyev (Oxford)
DTSTART:20170310T113000Z

CONTACT:Martin Haehnelt
DESCRIPTION:I review our present understanding of the evolution of binary 
 supermassive black holes -- how do they form\, why do they eventually merg
 e into a single black hole\, and what happens afterwards\, as well as disc
 uss their possible observational signatures and perspectives of detection.
  I focus on the difficulties in bringing the two black holes to coalescenc
 e\, which have been dubbed "the final-parsec problem"\, and on the recent 
 possible solutions to it.
