Introduction to IMRIs <strong>and</strong> EMRIs<br />
These systems, given that <strong>the</strong>y are defined by mass ratios<br />
beyond 1:100, necessarily must involve Black Holes (BHs).<br />
More specifically: The systems we have in mind are:<br />
* EMRIs : Stellar Compact Object (SCO) + <strong>Mass</strong>ive BH (MBH)<br />
(Space-Based Detectors)<br />
* IMRIs : SCO + <strong>Intermediate</strong>-<strong>Mass</strong> BH (IMBH)<br />
(Ground-Based Detectors)<br />
IMBH + MBH (Space-Based Detectors)<br />
