BLACK HOLE MERGERS. “In major mergers, BHs follow the fate of their host galaxies, coalescing to form a more massive BH. However, during this process, a large centre-of-mass recoil (kick) can be imparted to the newly formed BH as a consequence of asymmetric GW emission.” (BH = black hole; GW = gravitational wave).
