BINARY BLACK HOLES IN DENSE STAR CLUSTERS: EXPLORING THE THEORETICAL UNCERTAINTIES

Recent N-body simulations predict that large numbers of stellar black holes (BHs) could at present remain bound to globular clusters (GCs), and merging BH–BH binaries are produced dynamically in significant numbers. We systematically vary "standard" assumptions made by numerical simulation...
