Observational evidence of black hole event horizon from ultra-compact X-ray binaries
Qian-Qi Ma, Wei-Min Gu, Shan-Shan Weng +1
The event horizon is the most crucial feature that distinguishes black hole (BH) from all other objects in the universe. However, since no radiation can escape from the event horiz…
A Possible Triple Formation Scenario of Binary Black Hole Merge With One In Pair-instability Supernova Mass Gap
Tian Huang, Xizhen Lu, Guoliang Lü +8
Observations of binary black hole (BBH) mergers detected by LIGO -- such as GW170729, GW190620, GW190706, GW230107, GW230820, and GW230928 -- feature high effective spins and prima…
Hunting for Compact Object Binaries from eRASS1 Optical Counterparts through ZTF Time-domain Photometry and Multi-wavelength Surveys
Xin-Yu Fang, Hao-Bin Liu, Wei-Min Gu
Capitalizing on the eRASS1 optical counterpart catalog, we conduct a systematic census of compact object binary (COB) candidates, with a primary focus on X-ray binaries (XRBs), by…
The Evolution of Cataclysmic Variables Under Various Magnetic Braking Prescriptions
Wen-Shi Tang, Xiang-Dong Li, Zhe Cui +2
Recent studies revealed discrepancies between observations and the predictions of the standard magnetic braking (MB). Although alternative models have been broadly discussed in neu…
The first extragalactic ultra-compact X-ray binary : a candidate black hole-white dwarf system
Qian-Qi Ma, Jiachang Zhang, Wei-Min Gu +3
M31 UCXB-1 is one of the brightest X-ray point sources in the bulge of M31, with a peak X-ray luminosity $ L_{\mathrm{0.5-10 \: keV}} = 2.9^{+0.2}_{-0.2} \times 10^{38} \: \mathrm{…
Explanation of the Mass Distribution of Binary Black Hole Mergers
Lei Li, Guoliang Lv, Chunhua Zhu +5
Gravitational wave detectors are observing an increasing number of binary black hole (BBH) mergers, revealing a bimodal mass distribution of BBHs, which hints at diverse formation…
Searching for Accreting Compact Object Binaries in SRG/eROSITA eRASS1
Hao-Bin Liu, Wei-Min Gu, Yongqi Lu +2
Compact object binaries with accreting white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes are crucial for understanding accretion physics. In this study, we identify accreting compact obj…
