Black hole mergers in compact star clusters and massive black hole formation beyond the mass gap

We present direct N-body simulations, carried out with nbody6+ + gpu, of young and compact low-metallicity (Z = 0.0002) star clusters with 1.1 × 105 stars, a velocity dispersion of ∼15 km, s-1, a half-mass radius Rh = 0.6 pc, and a binary fraction of 10per,cent including updated evolution models for...
