BINARY BLACK HOLES IN DENSE STAR CLUSTERS: EXPLORING THE THEORETICAL UNCERTAINTIES

Recent N-body simulations predict that large numbers of stellar black holes (BHs) could at present remain bound to globular clusters (GCs), and merging BH-BH binaries are produced dynamically in significant numbers. We systematically vary "standard" assumptions made by numerical simulation...
