Direct Statistical Constraints on the Natal Kick velocity of a Black Hole in an X-ray Quiet Binary
Sharan Banagiri, Zoheyr Doctor, Vicky Kalogera +2
In recent years, a handful of ``dark" binaries have been discovered with a non-luminous compact object. Astrometry and radial velocity measurements of the bright companion allow us…
A Black Hole Kicked At Birth: MAXI J1305-704
Chase Kimball, Sam Imperato, Vicky Kalogera +12
When a compact object is formed in a binary, any mass lost during core collapse will impart a kick on the binary's center of mass. Asymmetries in this mass loss or neutrino emissio…
Limits on hierarchical black hole mergers from the most negative systems
Maya Fishbach, Chase Kimball, Vicky Kalogera
It has been proposed that some black holes (BHs) in binary black hole (BBH) systems are born from "hierarchical mergers" (HM); i.e. earlier mergers of smaller BHs. These HM product…
