Invited/Solicited talk in mini-symposium GW Astrophysics

Speaker

Description

In this talk I will discuss one of the primary targets of space-borne gravitational wave detectors – the Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals, which usually comprises a massive black hole and a stellar-mass companion. In recent years there are significant progress in terms of its formation channel, rate estimation and dynamics in astrophysical environments. I will review these new developments and then discuss the significance of detecting these sources with gravitational waves and possibly electromagnetic counterparts.
