Post-Newtonian Dynamics in Dense Star Clusters: Highly-Eccentric, Highly-Spinning, and Repeated Binary Black Hole Mergers
Carl L. Rodriguez, Pau Amaro-Seoane, Sourav Chatterjee +1
We present models of realistic globular clusters with post-Newtonian dynamics for black holes. By modeling the relativistic accelerations and gravitational-wave emission in isolate…
Predicting Stellar-Mass Black Hole Populations in Globular Clusters
Newlin C. Weatherford, Sourav Chatterjee, Carl L. Rodriguez +1
Recent discoveries of black hole (BH) candidates in Galactic and extragalactic globular clusters (GCs) have ignited interest in understanding how BHs dynamically evolve in a GC and…
Precessional dynamics of black hole triples: binary mergers with near-zero effective spin
Fabio Antonini, Carl L. Rodriguez, Cristobal Petrovich +1
The binary black hole mergers detected by Advanced LIGO/Virgo have shown no evidence of large black hole spins. However, because LIGO/Virgo best measures the effective combination…
Accreting black hole binaries in globular clusters
Kyle Kremer, Sourav Chatterjee, Carl L. Rodriguez +1
We explore the formation of mass-transferring binary systems containing black holes within globular clusters. We show that it is possible to form mass-transferring black hole binar…
Constraining Formation Models of Binary Black Holes with Gravitational-Wave Observations
Michael Zevin, Chris Pankow, Carl L. Rodriguez +4
Gravitational waves (GWs) from binary black hole (BBH) mergers provide a new probe of massive-star evolution and the formation channels of binary compact objects. By coupling the g…
