Physics

Scientific paper

Observations of the distribution of stars in the core of the globular cluster M15 suggest that it may contain a 10^3 M_solar black hole. Observations also suggest that many galaxies, including our own Milky Way, contain black holes in their cores with masses of 10^6 M_solar and greater. We investigate the gravitational waveforms produced by the interaction of compact objects with a massive black hole in the core of a globular cluster or galaxy. We consider the regime in which a point particle approximation is not completely applicable due to finite-size effects, so a full hydrodynamic approach (smoothed particle hydrodynamics) is pursued.
