Constraining the AGN channel for black hole mergers detectable with LIGO
Abstract
I will outline the basic parameterizations of the AGN channel for rates of black hole mergers as well as predictions for masses and spins. I will discuss how LIGO results, EM searches and simulations can constrain the rate, mass and spin estimates from this channel.
