Shadows of the Colossus: Hierarchical Black Hole Mergers in a 10-million-body Globular Cluster Simulation
Aidan Mai, Kyle Kremer, Fulya Kıroğlu
The LIGO/Virgo/Kagra (LVK) Collaboration has detected numerous binary black hole mergers with properties that challenge standard binary evolution scenarios, such as component masse…
Beyond Hierarchical Mergers: Accretion-Driven Origins of Massive, Highly Spinning Black Holes in Dense Star Clusters
Fulya Kıroğlu, Kyle Kremer, Frederic A. Rasio
GW231123, the most massive binary black hole (BBH) merger detected by LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA, highlights the need to understand the origins of massive, high-spin stellar black holes (BHs…
Hierarchical Triples vs. Globular Clusters: Binary black hole merger eccentricity distributions compete and evolve with redshift
Andris Dorozsmai, Isobel M. Romero-Shaw, Aditya Vijaykumar +5
The formation mechanisms of merging binary black holes (BBHs) observed by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration remain uncertain. Detectable eccentricity provides a powerful diagnosti…
Mass Distribution of Binary Black Hole Mergers from Young and Old Dense Star Clusters
Claire S. Ye, Maya Fishbach, Kyle Kremer +1
Dense star clusters are thought to contribute significantly to the merger rates of stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs) detected by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration. We combine…
Spin-Orbit Alignment in Merging Binary Black Holes Following Collisions with Massive Stars
Fulya Kıroğlu, James C. Lombardi, Kyle Kremer +2
Merging binary black holes (BBHs) formed dynamically in dense star clusters are expected to have uncorrelated spin--orbit orientations since they are assembled through many random…
