Context. Hierarchical triple stars are ideal laboratories for studying the interplay between
orbital dynamics and stellar evolution. Both mass loss from stellar winds and strong …

We derive the probability for a newly formed binary black hole (BBH) to undergo an
eccentric gravitational wave (GW) merger during binary-single interactions inside a stellar …

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 …

The three-body problem is arguably the oldest open question in astrophysics and has
resisted a general analytic solution for centuries. Various implementations of perturbation …

We estimate the population of eccentric gravitational wave (GW) binary black hole (BBH)
mergers forming during binary–single interactions in globular clusters (GCs), using∼ 800 …

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 …

Mainly motivated by the recent GW190521 mass gap event which we take as a benchmark
point, we critically assess if binaries made of a primordial black hole and a black hole of …

We study the formation rate of binary black hole mergers formed through gravitational-wave
emission between unbound, single black holes in globular clusters. While the formation of …

We present an extensive comparison between the statistical properties of non-hierarchical
three-body systems and the corresponding three-body theoretical predictions. We perform …

Eccentric mergers are a signature of the dynamical formation channel of binary black holes
(BBHs) in dense stellar environments and hierarchical triple systems. Here, we investigate …
