In this work we present a dynamical study of IMBHs in which we aim to shed more light on the formation scenario of these objects and on the creation of IMBH binaries (IMBHBs) in young massive star clusters. Specifically, we simulated 10^4 three-body interactions between a binary black hole (BBH) and a massive 60Msol black hole (BH) with ARWV, a direct N-body code that exploits the Mikkola's algorithm for regularization, post-Newtonian parameters up to the 2.5 order and a relativistic kick prescription for mergers.

Abstract

In this work we present a dynamical study of IMBHs in which we aim to shed more light on the formation scenario of these objects and on the creation of IMBH binaries (IMBHBs) in young massive star clusters. Specifically, we simulated 10^4 three-body interactions between a binary black hole (BBH) and a massive 60Msol black hole (BH) with ARWV, a direct N-body code that exploits the Mikkola's algorithm for regularization, post-Newtonian parameters up to the 2.5 order and a relativistic kick prescription for mergers.
