Journal ArticleDOI
Secular evolution of compact binaries near massive black holes: gravitational wave sources and other exotica
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the binary population of stellar black holes and neutron stars near supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and focus on the secular evolution of such binaries, due to the perturbation by the SMBH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Merging black hole binaries in galactic nuclei: implications for advanced-LIGO detections
Fabio Antonini,Frederic A. Rasio +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the dynamical evolution of (stellar-mass) black holes in galactic nuclei, where massive star clusters reside, and show that due to their large escape speeds, NSCs can retain a large fraction of their merger remnants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Binary Black Hole Mergers from Field Triples: Properties, Rates, and the Impact of Stellar Evolution
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of binary black hole (BH) mergers through the evolution of field massive triple stars is considered. And the authors derive the properties of the merging binaries and compute a BH merger rate in the range (0.3-1.3) Gpc(−)(3) yr(−)-1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Black hole triple dynamics: a breakdown of the orbit average approximation and implications for gravitational wave detections
TL;DR: In this article, a three-body simulation of the long-term evolution of hierarchical BH triples is performed to investigate the conditions that lead to the merging of the BH binary and the way it might become an observable source of GW radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissipationless Formation and Evolution of the Milky Way Nuclear Star Cluster
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how the presence of an SMBH at the center of the Milky Way impacts the merger hypothesis for the formation of its nuclear star clusters (NSCs).
