Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Formation from Hierarchical Mergers in Galactic Nuclei
Amanda Newton, Sanaea C. Rose, Fulya KıroÄlu +2
Dense stellar environments like nuclear star clusters (NSCs) can dynamically assemble gravitational wave (GW) sources. We consider a population of single stellar mass black holes (…

Natal Kicks from the Galactic Center and Implications on their Environment and the Roman Space Telescope
Carlos Jurado, Smadar Naoz, Casey Y. Lam +1
Most galaxies, including the Milky Way, harbor a central supermassive black hole (SMBH) weighing millions to billions of solar masses. Surrounding these SMBHs are dense regions of…

Detecting gravitational-wave bursts from black hole binaries in the Galactic Center with LISA
Alan M. Knee, Jess McIver, Smadar Naoz +3
Stellar-mass black hole binaries (BHBs) in galactic nuclei are gravitationally perturbed by the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) of the host galaxy, potentially inducing stro…
