Orbital Migration of Interacting Stellar Mass Black Holes in Disks around Supermassive Black Holes II. Spins and Incoming Objects
Amy Secunda, Jillian Bellovary, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +6
The masses, rates, and spins of merging stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs) detected by aLIGO and Virgo provide challenges to traditional BBH formation and merger scenarios. An…
Electromagnetic Window into the Dawn of Black Holes
Zoltán Haiman, William N. Brandt, Alexey Vikhlinin +28
Massive 10^6-10^10 Msun black holes (BHs) are ubiquitous in local galactic nuclei. They were common by the time the Universe is several Gyr old, and many of them were in place with…
Orbital Migration of Interacting Stellar Mass Black Holes in Disks around Supermassive Black Holes
Amy Secunda, Jillian Bellovary, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +5
The merger rate of stellar-mass black hole binaries (sBHBs) inferred by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) suggests the need for an efficient s…
On stellar-mass black hole mergers in AGN disks detectable with LIGO
B. McKernan, K. E. S. Ford, J. Bellovary +9
Black hole mergers detectable with LIGO can occur in active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks. Here we parameterize the merger rates, the mass spectrum and the spin spectrum of black ho…
