On the rate of black hole binary mergers in galactic nuclei due to dynamical hardening
Nathan W. C. Leigh, Aaron M. Geller, B. McKernan +9
We assess the contribution of dynamical hardening by direct three-body scattering interactions to the rate of stellar-mass black hole binary (BHB) mergers in galactic nuclei. We de…
Eccentric Black Hole Mergers Forming in Globular Clusters
Johan Samsing
We derive the probability for a newly formed binary black hole (BBH) to undergo an eccentric gravitational wave (GW) merger during binary-single interactions inside a stellar clust…
Double Gravitational Wave Mergers
Johan Samsing, Teva Ilan
In this paper we study the dynamical outcome in which black hole (BH) binary-single interactions lead to two successive gravitational wave (GW) mergers; a scenario we refer to as a…
Topology of Black Hole Binary-Single Interactions
Johan Samsing, Teva Ilan
We present a study on how the outcomes of co-planar binary-single black hole (BH) interactions distribute as a function of the orbital initial conditions. We refer to this distribu…
Dissipative Evolution of Unequal Mass Binary-Single Interactions and its Relevance to Gravitational Wave Detections
Johan Samsing, Morgan MacLeod, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz
We present a study on binary-single interactions with energy loss terms such as tidal dissipation and gravitational wave emission added to the equation-of-motion. The inclusion of…
On the Assembly Rate of Highly Eccentric Binary Black Hole Mergers
Johan Samsing, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz
In this {\it Letter} we calculate the fraction of highly eccentric binary black hole (BBH) mergers resulting from binary-single interactions. Using an -body code that includes p…
