论文摘要
引力波观测刚刚开始探测黑洞二进制合并种群的特性。对具有非常巨大的黑洞和显着不对称质量的二进制文件的观察激发了将密集的恒星簇作为天体物理环境的研究,可以动态地产生此类事件。在本文中,我们介绍了Rapster(对于“快速群集进化”),这是一种新的代码,旨在快速模拟二进制黑洞总体综合和基于简单但现实的处方的大型星团的演变。我们还与集群蒙特卡洛代码进行了详尽的比较,并发现一般的一致性。该代码可用于生成大量动态形成的二进制黑洞。
Gravitational-wave observations have just started probing the properties of black hole binary merger populations. The observation of binaries with very massive black holes and significantly asymmetric masses motivates the study of dense star clusters as astrophysical environments which can produce such events dynamically. In this paper we present Rapster (for "Rapid cluster evolution"), a new code designed to rapidly model binary black hole population synthesis and the evolution of massive star clusters based on simple, yet realistic prescriptions. We also perform a thorough comparison with the Cluster Monte Carlo code and find generally good agreement. The code can be used to generate large populations of dynamically formed binary black holes.
