Dynamical modelling of globular clusters: challenges for the robust determination of IMBH candidates
Francisco I. Aros, Anna C. Sippel, Alessandra Mastrobuono-Battisti +3
The presence or absence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) at the centre of Milky Way globular clusters (GCs) is still an open question. This is either due to observational r…
MOCCA SURVEY Database I: Binary Black Hole Mergers from Globular Clusters with Intermediate Mass Black Holes
Jongsuk Hong, Abbas Askar, Mirek Giersz +2
The dynamical formation of black hole binaries in globular clusters that merge due to gravitational waves occurs more frequently in higher stellar density. Meanwhile, the probabili…
Formation of super-massive black holes in galactic nuclei I: delivering seed intermediate-mass black holes in massive stellar clusters
Abbas Askar, Melvyn B. Davies, Ross P. Church
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are found in most galactic nuclei. A significant fraction of these nuclei also contain a nuclear stellar cluster (NSC) surrounding the SMBH. In thi…
