Massive scalar field around black hole binary and gravitational molecules

Abstract: Black hole binaries are one of the main sources of gravitational waves. In the age of gravitational wave astronomy, we must understand many properties about black hole binaries. In this talk, I will talk about new bound states of massive fields around the binaries. We numerically construct the bound states and discuss the fundamental properties. The bound state can be understood as an analogy of quantum mechanics of molecules which is a solvable model.
