The findings suggest that, of the 85 black hole mergers detected by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA since 2015, at least 35% happened in star clusters.
The findings could help astronomers determine where the black hole merger occurred and what causes such mergers.. As fusion ceases, so does the outward energy that supports stars against the inward pressure of their own gravity. This imbalance causes the stars' cores to undergo gravitational collapse, and as they rapidly fall inward, outer material is violently ejected, triggering ablast that's energetic enough to push away any material around the newly formed black hole.
