Binary intermediate-mass black hole mergers in globular clusters

Alexander Rasskazov, Giacomo Fragione, Bence Kocsis

We consider the formation of binary intermediate black holes (BIMBH) in globular clusters (GC), which could happen either in situ or due to the mergers between clusters. We simulat…
