… Specifically, we introduce a dimensionless parameter ε ≤ 1 that captures the complicated
physics of binary system formation and binary remnant survival. We also introduce a …

Taking kBH = 1, one immediately obtains the BH masses around 30-40 M�, which seemed …

… For posterity, we also include the 1- and 2-pN terms, as apsidal precession may play an
important role in 4-body encounters, and affect the stability of hierarchical triples that are formed …
