Abstract:
The life cycles of star clusters are an integral part of the formation of galaxies and their black hole populations. In these dense stellar environments, stars and black holes participate in complicated dynamical interactions that can create many unique objects, such as detached black hole binaries, hypervelocity stars, and gravitational-wave sources. In this talk, I will review our current
understanding of the evolution of dense star clusters in the Milky Way, and their complicated relationship with their black hole populations.
