Red vs. Blue: How metallicity shapes black hole dynamics and mergers in dense star clusters
Saloni Agrawal, Kyle Kremer, Michael Zevin +6
Dense star clusters are a well-established environment for the formation of gravitational wave sources through dynamical interactions. Recent LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) events such as…

Black hole mergers from dense star clusters with realistic binary populations
Christopher E. O'Connor, Kyle Kremer, Saloni Agrawal +5
We present a suite of 24 full-lifetime simulations of dense star clusters with the Cluster Monte Carlo (CMC) code, featuring updated input physics and a realistic distribution of i…

A Shocked Wind Interpretation of an Odd Radio Circle
Alison L. Coil, David S. N. Rupke, Serena Perrotta +2
Odd Radio Circles (ORCs) are a new class of extragalactic object, with large rings of faint radio continuum emission typically spanning 100s of kpc; their origins are unknown. Prev…
