MAGICS II. Seed black holes stripped of their surrounding stars do not sink

Yihao Zhou, Diptajyoti Mukherjee, Nianyi Chen +7

MBH seed mergers are expected to be among the loudest sources of gravitational waves detected by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), providing a unique window into the b…

The boring history of Gaia BH3 from isolated binary evolution

Giuliano Iorio, Stefano Torniamenti, Michela Mapelli +15

Gaia BH3 is the first observed dormant black hole (BH) with a mass of M and represents the first confirmation that such massive BHs are associated with metal-…

Dynamical formation of BH1 in a young star cluster

Sara Rastello, Giuliano Iorio, Michela Mapelli +5

BH1, the first quiescent black hole (BH) detected from data, poses a challenge to most binary evolution models: its current mass ratio is , and its orbi…

Young Star Clusters Dominate the Production of Detached Black Hole-Star Binaries

Ugo Niccolò Di Carlo, Poojan Agrawal, Carl L. Rodriguez +1

The recent discovery of two detached black hole-star (BH-star) binaries from Gaia's third data release has sparkled interest in understanding the formation mechanisms of these syst…

Dynamics of intermediate mass black holes in globular clusters. Wander radius and anisotropy profiles

Pierfrancesco Di Cintio, Mario Pasquato, Luca Barbieri +2

We recently introduced a new method for simulating collisional gravitational N-body systems with approximately linear time scaling with , based on the Multi-Particle Collision (…

The cosmic merger rate density evolution of compact binaries formed in young star clusters and in isolated binaries

Filippo Santoliquido, Michela Mapelli, Yann Bouffanais +5

Next generation ground-based gravitational-wave detectors will observe binary black hole (BBH) mergers up to redshift , probing the evolution of compact binary (CB) m…

Binary black holes in the pair-instability mass gap

Ugo N. Di Carlo, Michela Mapelli, Yann Bouffanais +5

Pair instability (PI) and pulsational PI prevent the formation of black holes (BHs) with mass M from single star evolution. Here, we investigate the possibili…
