SUMMARY:ITC Seminar:  Johan Samsing (Princeton)
DESCRIPTION:<p>	<strong>Title: Black Hole Mergers in Dense Stellar Systems</strong></p><p>	 </p><p>	<strong>Abstract:</strong></p><p>	I will present recent results on how binary black holes (BBHs)<br>merge in dense stellar systems through chaotic few-body interactions.<br>From taking into account GR effects in the equation-of-motion, I will show that dense stellar systems are likely to produce non-circular (eccentric) mergers in both LISA and LIGO with rates that are 10-100 times larger than all major groups recently have reported. This makes eccentricity a promising parameter for distinguishing BBH merger channels from each other.</p>
