The high-precision astrometry from the second data release of the Gaia mission has made it
possible to greatly improve the census of members of nearby clusters and associations. I …

Merger rate of black hole binaries from globular clusters: theoretical error bars and comparison to gravitational wave data from GWTC-2

F Antonini, M Gieles - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Black hole binaries formed dynamically in globular clusters are believed to be one of the
main sources of gravitational waves in the Universe. Here, we use our new population …
