Dynamics of stellar black holes in young star clusters with different metallicities - II. Black hole-black hole binaries

Dynamics of stellar black holes in young star clusters with different metallicities - II. Black hole-black hole binaries

In this paper, we study the formation and dynamical evolution of black hole–black hole (BH–BH) binaries in young star clusters (YSCs), by means of N-body simulations. The simulations include metallicity-dependent recipes for stellar evolution and stellar winds, and have been run for three different metallicities (Z = 0.01, 0.1 and …
