Some Theory:Some Theory:
Example: loss-cone around a binary black hole.
Stars scattered into the binary are ejected via the gravitational slingshot. The binary responds by shrinking.
In a real galaxy, the shrinking rate (d/dt)(1/a) would be limited by the rate of diffusion of stars into the loss cone.

BH collisions?BH collisions?
If we scaled up our numerical results, for the typical galaxy bulge (~10^9 Mo & ~3 kpc: 10 Gyr = 130) we see that the BH’s separation never come closer ~1 –
0.1 pc…
For the typical BH’s mass (10^6 Mo) the “gravitational merging” regime start with ~10^-6
pc!!!
