We present the first systematic study of strong binary–single and binary–binary black hole
(BH) interactions with the inclusion of general relativity. By including general relativistic …

Hierarchical triple-star systems are expected to form frequently via close binary–binary
encounters in the dense cores of globular clusters (GCs). In a sufficiently inclined triple …

Mergers of binary black holes on eccentric orbits are among the targets for second-
generation ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. These sources may commonly form …

When binary black holes form in the field, it is expected that their orbits typically circularize
before coalescence. In galactic nuclei and globular clusters, binary black holes can form …

The detection of∼ 50 coalescing compact binaries with the Advanced LIGO and Virgo
detectors has allowed us to test general relativity, constrain merger rates, and look for …

We present a time domain waveform model that describes the inspiral, merger and ringdown
of compact binary systems whose components are nonspinning, and which evolve on orbits …

The emission of gravitational waves (GWs) during single–single close encounters in galactic
nuclei (GNs) leads to the formation and rapid merger of highly eccentric stellar-mass black …

In Paper I of this series we showed that a large per centage of the binary black hole (BBH)
mergers that form through dynamical interactions in globular clusters will have significant …

Inspiraling compact binaries with non-negligible orbital eccentricities are plausible
gravitational wave (GW) sources for the upcoming network of GW observatories. In this …

Most gravitational wave (GW) events observed so far by the LIGO and Virgo detectors are
consistent with mergers of binary black holes (BBHs) on quasicircular orbits. However, some …
