Pathways for producing binary black holes with large misaligned spins in the isolated formation channel
Nathan Steinle, Michael Kesden
Binary black holes (BBHs) can form from the collapsed cores of isolated high-mass binary stars. The masses and spins of these BBHs are determined by the complicated interplay of ph…
Massive black hole binary inspiral and spin evolution in a cosmological framework
Mohammad Sayeb, Laura Blecha, Luke Zoltan Kelley +3
Massive black hole (MBH) binary inspiral time scales are uncertain, and their spins are even more poorly constrained. Spin misalignment, along with unequal mass ratios and spin mag…
Rates of Stellar Tidal Disruption
Nicholas C. Stone, Eugene Vasiliev, Michael Kesden +3
Tidal disruption events occur rarely in any individual galaxy. Over the last decade, however, time-domain surveys have begun to accumulate statistical samples of these flares. What…
