Investigating the formation channel of GW231123: Population III stars or hierarchical mergers?
Federico Angeloni, Konstantinos Kritos, Raffaella Schneider +5
The gravitational wave event GW231123, with component black hole masses lying within or above the pair-instability mass gap, poses a significant challenge to current stellar evolut…
Predicting intermediate-mass black hole formation in star clusters with machine learning
Konstantinos Kritos, Digvijay Wadekar, Emanuele Berti
Whether intermediate-mass black holes reside in nearby star clusters has remained contested for decades. We address this question by training neural network and random forest regre…
Milky Way Globular Clusters: Nurseries for Dynamically-Formed Binary Black Holes
Federico Angeloni, Konstantinos Kritos, Raffaella Schneider +4
We present a novel self-consistent theoretical framework to characterize the formation, evolution, and merger sites of dynamically-formed black hole binaries, with a focus on expla…
Supermassive black hole growth in hierarchically merging nuclear star clusters
Konstantinos Kritos, Ricarda S. Beckmann, Joseph Silk +5
Supermassive black holes are prevalent at the centers of massive galaxies, and their masses scale with galaxy properties, increasing evidence suggesting that these trends continue…
