Tidal Disruptions of Stars by Binary Black Holes: Modifying the Spin Magnitudes and Directions of LIGO Sources in Dense Stellar Environments
Martin Lopez, Aldo Batta, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +2
Binary black holes (BBHs) appear to be widespread and are able to merge through the emission of gravitational waves, as recently illustrated by LIGO. The spin of the BBHs is one of…
Post-Newtonian Dynamics in Dense Star Clusters: Binary Black Holes in the LISA Band
Kyle Kremer, Carl L. Rodriguez, Pau Amaro-Seoane +8
The dynamical processing of black holes in the dense cores of globular clusters (GCs), makes them efficient factories for producing binary black holes (BBHs). Here we explore the p…
Eccentric Black Hole Mergers in Dense Star Clusters: The Role of Binary-Binary Encounters
Michael Zevin, Johan Samsing, Carl Rodriguez +2
We present the first systematic study of strong binary-single and binary-binary black hole interactions with the inclusion of general relativity. When including general relativisti…
How Post-Newtonian Dynamics Shape the Distribution of Stationary Binary Black Hole LISA Sources in nearby Globular Clusters
Johan Samsing, Daniel J. D'Orazio
We derive the observable gravitational wave (GW) peak frequency () distribution of binary black holes (BBHs) that currently reside inside their globular clusters (GCs), with and…
Black Hole Mergers From Globular Clusters Observable by LISA II: Resolved Eccentric Sources and the Gravitational Wave Background
Daniel J. D'Orazio, Johan Samsing
In paper I of this series we showed that a large percentage of the binary black hole (BBH) mergers that form through dynamical interactions in globular clusters will have significa…
Black Hole Mergers From Globular Clusters Observable by LISA I: Eccentric Sources Originating From Relativistic -body Dynamics
Johan Samsing, Daniel J. D'Orazio
We show that nearly half of all binary black hole (BBH) mergers dynamically assembled in globular clusters have measurable eccentricities () in the LISA band ( Hz)…
Implementing Tidal and Gravitational Wave Energy Losses in Few-body Codes: A Fast and Easy Drag Force Model
Johan Samsing, Nathan W. C. Leigh, Alessandro A. Trani
We present a drag force model for evolving chaotic few-body interactions with the inclusion of orbital energy losses, such as tidal dissipation and gravitational wave (GW) emission…
Black Hole Mergers from Globular Clusters Observable by LISA and LIGO: Results from post-Newtonian Binary-Single Scatterings
Johan Samsing, Daniel J. D'Orazio, Abbas Askar +1
We study the gravitational wave (GW) frequency and chirp mass distribution of binary black hole (BBH) mergers assembled through three-body interactions in globular clusters (GCs),…
MOCCA-SURVEY Database I: Eccentric Black Hole Mergers During Binary-Single Interactions In Globular Clusters
Johan Samsing, Abbas Askar, Mirek Giersz
We estimate the population of eccentric gravitational wave (GW) binary black hole (BBH) mergers forming during binary-single interactions in globular clusters (GCs), using ~ 800 GC…
