1 Stellar mass black holes in young massive and open clusters and their role in gravitational-wave generation Sambaran Banerjee Argelander-Institut für Astronomie (AIfA) and Helmholtz-Instituts für Strahlen- und Kernphysik (HISKP), University of Bonn Bad Honnef, December 16 (arxiv: )

2 Promising source for LIGO-VIRGO gravitational-wave detector M22 BH candidates (Strader et al. 12) Stellar-mass black holes in globular clusters Dec (J) s 9. s 6. s RA (J) 3. s h 24 m. s ACTA 5.5-Ghz image of 47 Tuc core (Miller-Jones et al. 15)

3 Dynamical formation of BH-BH binaries 3-body binary formation in dense BH-core: in close encounter among 3 BHs, two of them get bound while third escape with the excess K.E. A B C A C B

4 Multiple exchange: BHs being more massive replace stellar binary members in successive exchange encounters; efficient with primordial binaries Image not to scale

5 Dynamical ways of BBH merger Merger of eccentric binary Triple Kozai oscillation (Not to scale) Merger of eccentric inner binary

6 R R (pc) (pc) Direct N-body computation of N =4.5 4 cluster, r h () = 1 pc, N BH (full retention). [Banerjee et al. (), MNRAS, 42, 371] N BH (t) Two phases: (a) initial segregation: N BH const (b) formation of BH-core: N BH depletes due to super-elastic dynamical encounters. BH-core (or Dark core ) phase have potential for a wide variety of physical phenomena

7 Merger-time distribution N mrg Coalescence inside cluster (triple BH) Most mergers happen within first few Gyr t mrg (Myr) Coalescence outside cluster (ejected eccentric binary BH) N mrg t mrg (Myr) [Banerjee et al. (), MNRAS, 42, 371]

8 N mrg N mrg Merger-time distribution Coalescence inside cluster (triple BH) t mrg (Myr) Coalescence outside cluster (ejected eccentric binary BH) Most mergers happen within first few Gyr. Approx. - 4 dynamically-induced BH-BH mergers per year over 1 Gpc radius, i.e., 5 - Gpc 3 yr 1 - consistent with recent (Monte Carlo) studies (e.g. Rodriguez et al. arxiv: ) Incomplete estimation - only old globular cluster type systems considered. Younger (less massive) systems can potentially boost dynamical BH-BH merger rate. Lower metallicity (more massive BH) would also boost dynamical binary-bh production. Work in progress t mrg (Myr) [Banerjee et al. (), MNRAS, 42, 371]
