Gravitational wave inference of star cluster properties from intermediate-mass black hole mergers
Konstantinos Kritos, Luca Reali, Ken K. Y. Ng +2
Next-generation ground-based gravitational wave observatories will observe mergers of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) out to high redshift. Such IMBHs can form through runawa…
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…
Beyond the far side: Observing black hole mergers beyond the pair-instability mass gap with next-generation gravitational wave detectors
Gabriele Franciolini, Konstantinos Kritos, Luca Reali +2
Stellar evolution predicts the existence of a mass gap for black hole remnants produced by pair-instability supernova dynamics, whose lower and upper edges are very uncertain. We s…
