Introduction to IMRIs <strong>and</strong> EMRIs<br />
<strong>Intermediate</strong>- <strong>and</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> mass ratio inspirals (IMRIs <strong>and</strong><br />
EMRIs) are binary systems whose evolution is driven by<br />
Gravitational-Wave (GW) emission <strong>and</strong> such <strong>the</strong> mass ratio<br />
between <strong>the</strong>ir components is in <strong>the</strong> range:<br />
q = m ∗<br />
M •<br />
=<br />
∼ 10 −7 − 10 −4<br />
∼ 10 −4 − 10 −2<br />
