Dynamics of binary black holes in low-mass young star clusters
Sara Rastello, Michela Mapelli, Ugo N. di Carlo +5
Young star clusters are dynamically active stellar systems and are a common birthplace for massive stars. Low-mass star clusters ( M) are more numerous than…
Intermediate mass black holes from stellar mergers in young star clusters
Ugo N. Di Carlo, Michela Mapelli, Mario Pasquato +8
Intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) in the mass range bridge the gap between stellar black holes (BHs) and supermassive BHs. Here, we investigate…
Hierarchical black hole mergers in young, globular and nuclear star clusters: the effect of metallicity, spin and cluster properties
Michela Mapelli, Marco Dall'Amico, Yann Bouffanais +8
We explore hierarchical black hole (BH) mergers in nuclear star clusters (NSCs), globular clusters (GCs) and young star clusters (YSCs), accounting for both original and dynamicall…
New insights on binary black hole formation channels after GWTC-2: young star clusters versus isolated binaries
Yann Bouffanais, Michela Mapelli, Filippo Santoliquido +5
With the recent release of the second gravitational-wave transient catalogue (GWTC-2), which introduced dozens of new detections, we are at a turning point of gravitational wave as…
