Mass-gap Mergers in Active Galactic Nuclei

Hiromichi Tagawa, Bence Kocsis, Zoltan Haiman +3

The recently discovered gravitational wave sources GW190521 and GW190814 have shown evidence of BH mergers with masses and spins that could be outside of the range expected from is…

Gravitational Waves as a Probe of Globular Cluster Formation and Evolution

Isobel M. Romero-Shaw, Kyle Kremer, Paul D. Lasky +2

Globular clusters are considered to be likely breeding grounds for compact binary mergers. In this paper, we demonstrate how the gravitational-wave signals produced by compact obje…

Search for Black Hole Merger Families

Doğa Veske, Andrew G. Sullivan, Zsuzsa Márka +5

The origin, environment, and evolution of stellar-mass black hole binaries are still a mystery. One of the proposed binary formation mechanisms is manifest in dynamical interaction…

Eccentric Black Hole Mergers in Active Galactic Nuclei

Hiromichi Tagawa, Bence Kocsis, Zoltan Haiman +3

The astrophysical origin of gravitational wave (GW) transients is a timely open question in the wake of discoveries by LIGO/Virgo. In active galactic nuclei (AGNs), binaries form a…

Black Hole Mergers from Hierarchical Triples in Dense Star Clusters

Miguel A. S. Martinez, Giacomo Fragione, Kyle Kremer +8

Hierarchical triples are expected to be produced by the frequent binary-mediated interactions in the cores of globular clusters. In some of these triples, the tertiary companion ca…

Binary-binary scattering in the secular limit

Adrian S. Hamers, Johan Samsing

Binary-binary interactions are important in a number of astrophysical contexts including dense stellar systems such as globular clusters. Although less frequent than binary-single…
