Black Hole Formation in the Lower Mass Gap through Mergers and Accretion in AGN Disks

Y. Yang, V. Gayathri, I. Bartos +3

The heaviest neutron stars and lightest black holes expected to be produced by stellar evolution leave the mass-range M M largely unpop…

Cosmic Evolution of Stellar-mass Black Hole Merger Rate in Active Galactic Nuclei

Y. Yang, I. Bartos, Z. Haiman +3

Binary black hole mergers encode information about their environment and the astrophysical processes that led to their formation. Measuring the redshift dependence of their merger…

GW170817A as a Hierarchical Black Hole Merger

V. Gayathri, I. Bartos, Z. Haiman +4

Despite the rapidly growing number of stellar-mass binary black hole mergers discovered through gravitational waves, the origin of these binaries is still not known. In galactic ce…

Ram-pressure stripping of a kicked Hill sphere: Prompt electromagnetic emission from the merger of stellar mass black holes in an AGN accretion disk

B. McKernan, K. E. S. Ford, I. Bartos +7

Accretion disks around supermassive black holes (SMBH) are promising sites for stellar mass black hole (BH) mergers due to mass segregation and merger acceleration by disk gas torq…

AGN Disks Harden the Mass Distribution of Stellar-mass Binary Black Hole Mergers

Y. Yang, I. Bartos, Z. Haiman +4

The growing number of stellar-mass binary black hole mergers discovered by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo are starting to constrain the binaries' origin and environment. However,…
