MAGICS. III. Seeds Sink Swiftly: Nuclear Star Clusters Dramatically Accelerate Seed Black Hole Mergers
Merger rate predictions of massive black hole (MBH) seeds from large-scale cosmological simulations differ widely, with recent studies highlighting the challenge of low-mass MBH seeds failing to reach the galactic center, a phenomenon known as the seed sinking problem. In this work, we tackle this i...
