MERGED GIANT BLACK HOLES. “Begelman et al. (1980), who broke down the likely evolution of a massive binary into three stages: (1) In the early phases of the galaxy merger, the two SBHs are far enough apart that they move independently in the potential of the merger remnant. Both SBHs sink toward the center of the potential due to dynamical friction against the stars.” (SBH = supermassive black hole).
