Globular cluster formation histories, masses and radii inferred from gravitational waves

Abstract: Globular clusters (GCs) are found in all types of galaxies and harbor some of the most extreme stellar systems, including black holes that may dynamically assemble into merging binaries (BBHs). Uncertain GC properties, including when they formed, their initial masses and sizes, affect their production rate of BBH mergers. Using the gravitational-wave catalog GWTC-3, we measure that dynamically-assembled BBHs -those that are consistent with isotropic spin directions -make up 61 +29 −44 % of the total merger rat… Show more
