Gravitational waves from scattering of stellar-mass black holes in galactic nuclei
Ryan M. O'Leary, Bence Kocsis, Abraham Loeb
Stellar mass black holes (BHs) are expected to segregate and form a steep density cusp around supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galactic nuclei. We follow the evolution of a mult…
