Gravitational-wave observations of extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) hold incredible potential to probe gravity, astrophysical and exotic environments. One of the main effects of astrophysical environments — in particular active galactic nuclei — is the torque exerted by their gaseous disk, which forces EMRIs to “migrate” (mostly) inward like planets.
Primordial Black Holes from Inflation: recent challenges and opportunities in the GW era

Primordial black holes (PBHs) might form in the early universe and could comprise a significant fraction of the dark matter. If they are generated due to enhanced scalar perturbations at small scales, their formation is inevitably accompanied by the emission of gravitational waves (GWs) that could be seen by current and future GW experiments.
