On the rate of black hole binary mergers in galactic nuclei due to dynamical hardening
Nathan W. C. Leigh, Aaron M. Geller, B. McKernan +9
We assess the contribution of dynamical hardening by direct three-body scattering interactions to the rate of stellar-mass black hole binary (BHB) mergers in galactic nuclei. We de…

The Evolution of Kicked Stellar-Mass Black Holes in Star Cluster Environments
Jeremy J. Webb, Nathan W. C. Leigh, Abhishek Singh +3
We consider how dynamical friction acts on black holes that receive a velocity kick while located at the center of a gravitational potential, analogous to a star cluster, due to ei…
