But if you have clusters of black holes at the centers of galaxies, there are mechanisms by which some could rapidly grow, form binaries and merge with each other.»
The detector will pick up gravitational waves generated by binary supermassive black holes, ultra-compact binaries and small black holes falling into supermassive black holes.
Gravitational waves formed by binary supermassive black holes take months or years to pass Earth and require many years of observations to detect.
In the Universe, cosmic ray particles are accelerated by galaxy clusters, supernovae, binary stars, pulsars and certain types of supermassive black holes.
In spite of the recent detection of gravitational waves from binary black holes by LIGO, direct evidence using electromagnetic waves remains elusive and astronomers are searching for it with radio telescopes.
By comparing the models to recent observations of clusters in the Milky Way galaxy and beyond, the results show that Advanced LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational - Wave Observatory) could eventually see more than 100 binary black hole mergers per year.
«By the end of the decade, we expect LIGO to detect hundreds to thousands of binary black holes,» Rodriguez said.
This theory, known as dynamical formation, is one of two recognized main channels for forming the binary black holes detected by the Advanced LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational - Wave Observatory).
Binary black holes are expected to be common in large galaxies, since galaxies are thought to grow by merging with other galaxies, each of which would presumably bring a central black hole with it.
By contrast, such features have not been observed from «normal» black hole X-ray binaries in the Milky Way where sub-critical accretion takes place.

This event, detected by the two NSF - supported LIGO detectors at 02:01:16 UTC on June 8, 2017 (or 10:01:16 pm on June 7 in US Eastern Daylight time), was actually the second binary black hole merger observed during LIGO's second observation run since being upgraded in a program called Advanced LIGO.
Instead, the team has demonstrated it is a pair of binary stars that had been orbiting the black hole in tandem and merged together into an extremely large star, cloaked in gas and dust, and choreographed by the black hole's powerful gravitational field.
The center of our galaxy hosts a supermassive black hole that can accelerate and eject stars from the galaxy by disrupting an original binary star.
The research team led by Satoru Iguchi, Associate Professor of NAOJ, succeeded in observing a very close binary black hole in the center of 3C66B (a giant elliptical galaxy within the cluster A347) just before its black hole merger.
The researchers started by analyzing the three gravitational wave events that were detected by LIGO and attempted to see if all three black hole collisions evolved in the same way, which they call «classical isolated binary evolution via a common - envelope phase.»
The three confirmed detections by LIGO (GW150914, GW151226, GW170104), and one lower - confidence detection (LVT151012), point to a population of stellar - mass binary black holes that, once merged, are larger than 20 solar masses — larger than what was known before.
Otherwise unknowable details of some of the universe's most violent events — from neutron star and binary black hole mergers, to supernova explosions and even the Big Bang itself — should be revealed by the tell - tale gravitational waves they produce.
