The dynamical origin of GW190521 in young massive star clusters
Marco Dall'Amico
GW190521 is the most massive binary black hole (BBH) merger observed to date. Due to its peculiar properties, the origin of this system is still a matter of debate: several hints m…
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…
GW190521 formation via three-body encounters in young massive star clusters
Marco Dall'Amico, Michela Mapelli, Ugo N. Di Carlo +5
GW190521 is the most massive binary black hole (BBH) merger observed to date, and its primary component lies in the pair-instability (PI) mass gap. Here, we investigate the formati…
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…
