The STARfall pathway: forging intermediate-mass black holes through stellar collisions in dense star clusters
Filippo Simonato, Manuel Arca Sedda, Taeho Ryu +15
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs, ) are elusive objects bridging the gap between stellar-mass and supermassive black holes, whose o…
Isolated or Dynamical? Tracing Black Hole Binary Formation through the Population of Gravitational-Wave Sources
Manuel Arca Sedda, Lavinia Paiella, Cristiano Ugolini +5
The population of binary black hole (BBH) mergers observed by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration offers a window into the cosmic evolution of compact binaries and their forma…
Seeds to success: growing heavy black holes in dense star clusters
Lavinia Paiella, Manuel Arca Sedda, Benedetta Mestichelli +1
The observational dearth of black holes (BHs) with masses between 100 and 100,000 raises questions about the nature of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs). Propos…
Assembling GW231123 in star clusters through the combination of stellar binary evolution and hierarchical mergers
Lavinia Paiella, Cristiano Ugolini, Mario Spera +2
GW231123 is the most massive binary black hole (BBH) merger detected to date by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration. With at least one black hole (BH) in the upper-mass gap and both…
Black Hole - Neutron Star and Binary Neutron Star Mergers from Population III and II stars
Benedetta Mestichelli, Michela Mapelli, Filippo Santoliquido +9
Population III (Pop.III) stars are expected to be massive and to undergo minimal mass loss due to their lack of metals, making them ideal progenitors of black holes and neutron…
