The major source of ground-based gravitational wave detectors, the inspiral and merger of comparable mass binary black holes (BBH), consists of a slow quasicircular inspiral, a merger to form a single remnant hole, and the quasinormal…
We follow the sinking of two massive black holes in a spherical stellar system where the black holes become bound under the influence of dynamical friction. Once bound, the binary hardens by three-body encounters with surrounding stars. We…

As a mysterious celestial body predicted by General Relativity, black holes have been confirmed by observations in recent years. But there are still many unknown properties waiting for us to discover, one of the famous problems is the…

The relationship between natural orbitals, one-body coherences and two-body correlations is explored for bosonic many-body systems of definite parity with two occupied single-particle states. We show that the strength of local two-body…
