A 13 Year Black Hole Microlensing Survey in Omega Centauri
Zack Freeman, Maximilian Häberle, Anil Seth +11
Star clusters are born with massive stars that leave behind a large population of stellar mass black holes. These black holes may account for a large fraction of binary black hole…
Identity Crisis: Untangling Mass-Ordering Artifacts from Compact-Object Pairing in Gravitational-Wave Populations
Soumendra Kishore Roy, Asad Hussain, L. A. C. van Son +3
Mass distributions of binary black hole mergers inferred from gravitational-wave observations offer clues to how binaries form. These distributions conventionally label the heavier…
When the stars don't align: Investigating inconsistencies in binary black hole formation across population synthesis codes
Alexandra G. Guerrero, Michael Zevin, Duncan B. Maclean +4
Binary population synthesis (BPS) codes are valuable tools for investigating the end-to-end lives of binary stars as well as a myriad of observed astrophysical phenomena. Many ``ra…
Twin Peaks: Resolving Features in the Binary Black Hole Mass Function with COSMIC-METISSE
Duncan B. Maclean, Poojan Agrawal, Katelyn Breivik +4
Gravitational waves from inspiraling binary black holes (BBHs) provide insights into the lives and deaths of massive stars. Population synthesis allows us to model these binaries t…
A Long Period Stellar-Mass Black Hole Binary in Centauri
Matthew Whitaker, Evan Kerr, Anil Seth +16
Modern simulations of stellar dynamics in globular clusters peg a dominant role for stellar-mass black holes, but direct evidence for black holes in clusters remains limited. We pr…
Breaking Down the : Toward Modeling and Understanding Globular Cluster Stellar Streams in a Fully Cosmological Context
Nondh Panithanpaisal, Robyn E. Sanderson, Carl L. Rodriguez +7
Next-generation surveys are expected to uncover thousands of globular cluster (GC) stellar streams, motivating the need for a theoretical framework that produces realistic GC strea…
Growing the Intermediate-mass Black Hole in Omega Centauri
Elena González Prieto, Carl L. Rodriguez, Tomás Cabrera
The recent detection of fast-moving stars in the core of Omega Centauri ( Cen), the most massive globular cluster (GC) in the Milky Way, has provided strong evidence for the pre…
Realistic predictions for Gaia black hole discoveries: comparison of isolated binary and dynamical formation models
Pranav Nagarajan, Kareem El-Badry, Chirag Chawla +6
Astrometry from Gaia has enabled discovery of three dormant black holes (BHs) in au-scale binaries. Numerous models have been proposed to explain their formation, including several…
Great Balls of FIRE IV. The contribution of massive star clusters to the astrophysical population of merging binary black holes
Tristan Bruel, Astrid Lamberts, Carl L. Rodriguez +3
The detection of over a hundred gravitational wave signals from double compacts objects have confirmed the existence of such binaries with tight orbits. Two main formation channels…
From Young Massive Clusters to Old Globular Clusters: Density Profile Evolution and IMBH Formation
Kuldeep Sharma, Carl L. Rodriguez
The surface brightness profiles of globular clusters are conventionally described with the well-known King profile. However, observations of young massive clusters (YMCs) in the lo…
Stellar Black Holes and Compact Stellar Remnants
Guglielmo Costa, Martyna Chruślińska, Jakub Klencki +4
The recent observations of gravitational waves (GWs) by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration (LVK) have provided a new opportunity for studying our Universe. By detecting several mer…
Great Balls of FIRE III: Modeling Black Hole Mergers from Massive Star Clusters in Simulations of Galaxies
Tristan Bruel, Carl L. Rodriguez, Astrid Lamberts +3
After the nearly hundred gravitational-wave detections reported by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration, the question of the cosmological origin of merging binary black holes (BBHs)…
