Dynamical Formation of Low-mass Merging Black Hole Binaries like GW151226

Using numerical models for star clusters spanning a wide range in ages and metallicities (Z) we study the masses of binary black holes (BBHs) produced dynamically and merging in the local universe (z lesssim 0.2). After taking into account cosmological constraints on star formation rate and metallic...
