Mass and Rate of Hierarchical Black Hole Mergers in Young, Globular and Nuclear Star Clusters

Mass and Rate of Hierarchical Black Hole Mergers in Young, Globular and Nuclear Star Clusters

Hierarchical mergers are one of the distinctive signatures of binary black hole (BBH) formation through dynamical evolution. Here, we present a fast semi-analytic approach to simulate hierarchical mergers in nuclear star clusters (NSCs), globular clusters (GCs) and young star clusters (YSCs). Hierar...
