The Ecology of Black Holes in Star Clusters
Simon Portegies Zwart
Abstract
In this lecture we investigate the formation and evolution of black holes in star clusters. The star clusters under consideration are generally rich, containing more than 104 stars, and with a density exceeding 104 stars/pc3. Among these are young dense clusters (YoDeCs), globular cluster and the nuclei of galaxies. We will also address the the possible evolutionary link between stellar mass black holes, via intermediate mass black holes to supermassive black holes, mainly focus on the ecology of star clusters.
