An upper limit to the velocity dispersion of relaxed stellar systems without massive black holes
M. Coleman Miller, Melvyn B. Davies
Massive black holes have been discovered in all closely examined galaxies with high velocity dispersion. The case is not as clear for lower-dispersion systems such as low-mass gala…

Investigating stellar-mass black hole kicks
Serena Repetto, Melvyn B. Davies, Steinn Sigurdsson
We investigate whether stellar-mass black holes have to receive natal kicks in order to explain the observed distribution of low-mass X-ray binaries containing black holes within o…
