Compact object binary mergers driven by cluster tides: a new channel for LIGO/Virgo gravitational wave events
Chris Hamilton, Roman R. Rafikov
The detections of gravitational waves produced in mergers of binary black holes (BH) and neutron stars (NS) by LIGO/Virgo have stimulated interest in the origin of the progenitor b…

Secular dynamics of binaries in stellar clusters II: dynamical evolution
Chris Hamilton, Roman R. Rafikov
Dense stellar clusters are natural sites for the origin and evolution of exotic objects such as relativistic binaries (potential gravitational wave sources), blue stragglers, etc.…

Secular dynamics of binaries in stellar clusters I: general formulation and dependence on cluster potential
Chris Hamilton, Roman R. Rafikov
Orbital evolution of binary systems in dense stellar clusters is important in a variety of contexts: origin of blue stragglers, progenitors of compact object mergers, millisecond p…
