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…

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…

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…

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)…
