Post-Newtonian Dynamics in Dense Star Clusters: Formation, Masses, and Merger Rates of Highly-Eccentric Black Hole Binaries
Carl L. Rodriguez, Pau Amaro-Seoane, Sourav Chatterjee +5
Using state-of-the-art dynamical simulations of globular clusters, including radiation reaction during black hole encounters and a cosmological model of star cluster formation, we…
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…
Redshift Evolution of the Black Hole Merger Rate from Globular Clusters
Carl L. Rodriguez, Abraham Loeb
As the sensitivity of current and future gravitational-wave detectors improves, it will become possible to measure the evolution of the binary black hole merger rate with redshift.…
How initial size governs core collapse in globular clusters
Kyle Kremer, Sourav Chatterjee, Claire S. Ye +2
Globular clusters (GCs) in the Milky Way exhibit a well-observed bimodal distribution in core radii separating the so-called "core-collapsed" and "non-core-collapsed" clusters. Her…
Measuring the star formation rate with gravitational waves from binary black holes
Salvatore Vitale, Will M. Farr, Ken Ng +1
A measurement of the history of cosmic star formation is central to understand the origin and evolution of galaxies. The measurement is extremely challenging using electromagnetic…
