In the light of the threads on Density Wave Theory, Hyper Velocity Stars and this one, I've just been reading up on gravitational waves.
Interesting to note that if they ever discover a Hypercompact Stellar System (HCSS), the modelling these guys have done would need 'significant reworking'.
Discovering one of these beasties would imply that some galaxies do not have MBHs at their cores and that SMBHs could exist outside of galaxies !
I guess they've done a fair amount of searching for these over the years, (MACHO surveys, etc), and haven't found any, but its noteworthy that there is a lot of theory which could become 'a little unravelled' if they ever found one.
LISA and the search for gravitational waves could do a whole lot more than just confirm a theoretical prediction from GR.
Interesting.
Cheers
