Survival Analysis of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in Dense Star Clusters
Miguel A. S. Martinez, Elena González Prieto, Frederic A. Rasio
Recently, an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) candidate was announced in the Galactic globular cluster Omega Centauri. IMBHs at the lower end of the traditional mass range have…
Large Gravitational Wave Phase Shifts from Strong 3-body Interactions in Dense Stellar Clusters
Kai Hendriks, Dany Atallah, Miguel Martinez +6
The phase evolution of gravitational waves (GWs) can be modulated by the astrophysical environment surrounding the source, which provides a probe for the origin of individual binar…
Intermediate-mass Black Holes on the Run from Young Star Clusters
Elena González Prieto, Kyle Kremer, Giacomo Fragione +4
The existence of black holes (BHs) with masses in the range between stellar remnants and supermassive BHs has only recently become unambiguously established. GW190521, a gravitatio…
On the Mass Ratio Distribution of Black Hole Mergers in Triple Systems
Miguel A. S. Martinez, Carl L. Rodriguez, Giacomo Fragione
Observations have shown that the majority of massive stars, progenitors of black holes (BHs), have on average more than one stellar companion. In triple systems, wide inner binarie…
Black Hole Mergers from Hierarchical Triples in Dense Star Clusters
Miguel A. S. Martinez, Giacomo Fragione, Kyle Kremer +8
Hierarchical triples are expected to be produced by the frequent binary-mediated interactions in the cores of globular clusters. In some of these triples, the tertiary companion ca…
Demographics of triple systems in dense star clusters
Giacomo Fragione, Miguel A. S. Martinez, Kyle Kremer +6
Depending on the stellar type, more than \% and of stars in the field have at least one and two stellar companions, respectively. Hierarchical systems can be a…
GW190412 as a Third-Generation Black Hole Merger from a Super Star Cluster
Carl L. Rodriguez, Kyle Kremer, Michael Y. Grudić +8
We explore the possibility that GW190412, a binary black hole merger with a non-equal-mass ratio and significantly spinning primary, was formed through repeated black hole mergers…
