Formation of black hole stars via star--black hole collisions
Yanlong Shi, Qingru Hu, Zhenghao Xu +2
In dense stellar environments such as globular clusters and active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks, stellar-mass black holes (sBHs) may frequently collide with massive stars. We inves…

Stellar Evolution with Radiative Feedback in AGN Disks
Zheng-Hao Xu, Yi-Xian Chen, Douglas N. C. Lin
Stars embedded in the inner pc region of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) experience extreme accretion conditions that significantly alter their evolution. We present one-dimension…

Stellar Population and Metal Production in AGN Disks
Chris L. Fryer, Jiamu Huang, Mohamad Ali-Dib +3
As gravitational wave detections increase the number of observed compact binaries (consisting of neutron stars or blacks), we begin to probe the different conditions producing thes…
