Would there be a reason we wouldn't expect these mergers to happen very often? I mean, LIGO doesn't detect black holes that often considering how much space it is surveying. Would there be time for the small black holes to accumulate into a large black hole?
- imglorp 6y agoLIGO only detects mergers, and then only in a certain low mass range. The article hints that these are most likely to happen in a star-dense area (duh, right?) like a nebula.
