Abstract
The evolution of globular cluster systems in some galaxies can be cause of merging of globulars in the very central regions. This high stellar density favours the growth of a central nucleus via swallowing of surrounding stars. The infall of stars into a nuclear black hole is here shown to be, under certain conditions, not only source of electromagnetic radiation but also a significant source of gravitational waves.
