Using final black hole spins and masses to infer the formation history of the observed population of gravitational wave sources
Manuel Arca Sedda, Matthew Benacquista
In this paper we propose a novel technique to constrain the progenitor binary black hole (BBH) formation history using the remnant masses and spins of merged black holes (BHs). Exp…
Gravitational wave sources from inspiralling globular clusters in the Galactic Centre and similar environments
Manuel Arca Sedda, Alessia Gualandris
We model the inspiral of globular clusters (GCs) towards a galactic nucleus harboring a supermassive black hole (SMBH), a leading scenario for the formation of nuclear star cluster…
MOCCA-SURVEY Database I: Galactic Globular Clusters Harbouring a Black Hole Subsystem
Abbas Askar, Manuel Arca Sedda, Mirek Giersz
There have been increasing theoretical speculations and observational indications that certain globular clusters (GCs) could contain a sizeable population of stellar mass black hol…
MOCCA-SURVEY Database I. Unravelling black hole subsystems in globular clusters
Manuel Arca Sedda, Abbas Askar, Mirek Giersz
In this paper, we discuss how globular clusters (GCs) structural and observational properties can be used to infer the presence of a black hole system (BHS) inhabiting their inner…
