Knowledge of regression analysis and R is helpful but not required. \nRegistration and a refundable deposit is required to receive Zoom link. Deposit will be refunded upon attendance of course. \nTo learn more and register\, click HERE. \n\n\n\n From Monday\, April 20\, 2026 10:00 AM\n to 3:00 PM EDT\n at Online.

These include gravitational-wave emissions that detect the mergers of compact binaries\, X-ray radiation that captures the dramatic accretion episodes of black hole binaries\, and astrometry\, which measures the dance of a star around an unseen companion. Despite significant progress over the past decade\, we still lack a unified framework that connects these seemingly disparate populations. In this talk\, I will explore how stellar triples may provide such a connection. I will discuss the role of tertiary companions in driving black hole mergers detectable by LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA\, in shaping the formation of accreting X-ray binaries\, and in leaving behind wide black hole–stellar systems like those now revealed by Gaia. I will show how the aftermath of a black hole merger in the presence of a tertiary companion can produce rare but detectable electromagnetic counterparts\, and how this channel may account for a significant fraction of observed black hole binaries. In short\, triples may open the door to linking gravitational-wave events with electromagnetic counterparts and galactic black holes\, offering a new way to piece together the life stories of black holes.  \n\n\n\n From Monday\, April 20\, 2026 3:30 PM\n to 4:30 PM EDT\n at 207 Phillips Hall.
