摘要:

在本文中,我们解决的问题:什么是恒星质量黑洞(BH)双星共存于一个球状星团与中等质量黑洞(IMBH)的概率是多少?我们的研究结果表明,一个或多个BH双星的检测可以强烈地限制在大多数银河系球状星团的IMBH的存在。更具体地说,一个或多个BH二进制的检测可以强烈地指示在我们的样本中大约80%的集群中存在比$\gtrsim 10^3$ M $_{\rm \odot}$更大的IMBH。为了说明这一点,我们使用的N体模拟和分析方法相结合,以权衡BH双星的形成率对他们的喷射和/或中断率通过强引力相互作用的中心(最)大质量BH。恒星质量的黑洞(无论是否有双星伴星)的最终命运是所有黑洞都被中央的IMBH从星团中抛出,只留下最大质量的黑洞与IMBH形成一个近距离双星。在每个阶段的演变,我们讨论了中央BH-BH对作为一个功能的属性的二进制和它的主机集群的inspiral率。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we address the question: What is the probability of stellar-mass black hole (BH) binaries co-existing in a globular cluster with an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH)? Our results suggest that the detection of one or more BH binaries can strongly constrain the presence of an IMBH in most Galactic globular clusters. More specifically, the detection of one or more BH binaries could strongly indicate against the presence of an IMBH more massive than $\gtrsim 10^3$ M$_{\rm \odot}$ in roughly 80\% of the clusters in our sample. To illustrate this, we use a combination of N-body simulations and analytic methods to weigh the rate of formation of BH binaries against their ejection and/or disruption rate via strong gravitational interactions with the central (most) massive BH. The eventual fate of a sub-population of stellar-mass BHs (with or without binary companions) is for all BHs to be ejected from the cluster by the central IMBH, leaving only the most massive stellar-mass BH behind to form a close binary with the IMBH. During each phase of evolution, we discuss the rate of inspiral of the central BH-BH pair as a function of both the properties of the binary and its host cluster.
