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…

Dynamical formation of high-eccentricity compact binaries through BH--BH*/TZO collisions
Qingru Hu, Yanlong Shi, Douglas N. C. Lin +1
The rapidly accumulating discoveries of binary stellar-mass black-hole (sBH) coalescences, detected by LIGO, have opened a new window into the formation and evolution of compact bi…

FORGE'd in FIRE II: The Formation of Magnetically-Dominated Quasar Accretion Disks from Cosmological Initial Conditions
Philip F. Hopkins, Jonathan Squire, Kung-Yi Su +9
In a companion paper, we reported the self-consistent formation of quasar accretion disks with inflow rates down to <300 Schwarzschild radii fro…
