Supermassive black hole growth in hierarchically merging nuclear star clusters
Konstantinos Kritos, Ricarda S. Beckmann, Joseph Silk +5
Supermassive black holes are prevalent at the centers of massive galaxies, and their masses scale with galaxy properties, increasing evidence suggesting that these trends continue…
Minimum gas mass accreted by spinning intermediate-mass black holes in stellar clusters
Konstantinos Kritos, Luca Reali, Davide Gerosa +1
The spin of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) growing through repeated black hole mergers in stellar clusters statistically asymptotes to zero. Putative observations of IMBHs w…
Intermediate-mass black hole binary parameter estimation with next-generation ground-based detector networks
Luca Reali, Roberto Cotesta, Andrea Antonelli +3
Astrophysical scenarios for the formation and evolution of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) in the mass range remain uncertain,…
Supermassive black holes from runaway mergers and accretion in nuclear star clusters
Konstantinos Kritos, Emanuele Berti, Joseph Silk
Rapid formation of supermassive black holes occurs in dense nuclear star clusters that are initially gas-dominated. Stellar-mass black hole remnants of the most massive cluster sin…
Residual eccentricity as a systematic uncertainty on the formation channels of binary black holes
Giulia Fumagalli, Isobel Romero-Shaw, Davide Gerosa +3
Resolving the formation channel(s) of merging binary black holes is a key goal in gravitational-wave astronomy. The orbital eccentricity is believed to be a precious tracer of the…
Nonlinear quasinormal mode detectability with next-generation gravitational wave detectors
Sophia Yi, Adrien Kuntz, Enrico Barausse +4
In the aftermath of a binary black hole merger event, the gravitational wave signal emitted by the remnant black hole is modeled as a superposition of damped sinusoids known as qua…
