GW190521 is the most massive binary black hole (BBH) merger observed to date. Due to its peculiar properties, the origin of this system is still a matter of debate: several hints may favor a dense stellar environment as a birthplace. Here, we investigate the possible formation of GW190521-like systems via three-body encounters in young massive star clusters (YSCs) by means of direct N-body simulations.

Constraints on Line-of-Sight Acceleration from O1-O4
All known compact binary mergers show line-of-sight accelerations consistent with zero under a new time-domain Doppler-shift model, with current detectors only sensitive to high-acceleration scenarios.
