What can we learn from multi-band observations of black hole binaries?
Abstract
We discuss some of the synergies that result when the same black hole (BH) binaries are observed both by space-based and ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) observatories. E.g., we show how combining such GW data sets can break degeneracies and so improve parameter estimation. We consider both stellar- mass and intermediate-mass BH binaries.
