Getting Tilted: Random Walk of Binary Black Hole Spin-Orbit Alignment in Dense Star Clusters
Maia A. S. Martinez, Christopher E. O'Connor, Fulya KıroÄlu +1
It is commonly assumed that the spin-orbit angles of binary black holes (BBHs) originating from dense stellar environments rapidly converge to an isotropic distribution following a…

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…
