Evolution of Massive Blackhole Triples II -- The effect of the BH   triples dynamics on the structure of the galactic nuclear
  In this paper, we investigate the structures of galaxies which either have or have had three BHs using $N$-body simulations, and compare them with those of galaxies with binary BHs. We found that the cusp region of a galaxy which have (or had) triple BHs is significantly larger and less dense than that of a galaxy with binary BHs of the same mass. Moreover, the size of the cusp region depends strongly on the evolution history of triple BHs, while in the case of binary BHs, the size of the cusp is determined by the mass of the BHs. In galaxies which have (or had) three BHs, there is a region with significant radial velocity anisotropy, while such a region is not observed in galaxies with binary BH. These differences come from the fact that with triple BHs the energy deposit to the central region of the galaxy can be much larger due to multiple binary-single BH scatterings. Our result suggests that we can discriminate between galaxies which experienced triple BH interactions with those which did not, through the observable signatures such as the cusp size and velocity anisotropy.
