Constraints on dynamically-formed massive black holes in Little Red Dots from X-ray non-detections

M. Liempi, D. R. G. Schleicher, M. A. Latif +4

The existence of massive, compact galaxies (Little Red Dots, LRDs) at challenges early structure formation models, suggesting rapid stellar and black hole (BH) assembly.…

On the Fate of Little Red Dots

Andres Escala, Lucas Zimmermann, Sebastian Valdebenito +3

We study the stability and possible fates of Little Red Dots, under the stellar-only interpretation of their observational features. This is performed by a combination of analyzing…

Rapid formation of a very massive star >50000 and subsequently an IMBH from runaway collisions. Direct N-body and Monte Carlo simulations of dense star clusters

Marcelo C. Vergara, Abbas Askar, Albrecht W. H. Kamlah +15

Context. We present simulations of a massive young star cluster using \textsc{Nbody6++GPU} and \textsc{MOCCA}. The cluster is initially more compact than previously published model…

Feedback from intermediate mass black holes on dwarf galaxy morphology at z=2

Da Bi, Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Andres Escala

This study investigates the influence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) on galactic morphology, focusing on their evolution within dwarf galaxies at high redshift (z~2). Usi…

Efficiency of black hole formation via collisions in stellar systems: An analysis of data from simulations and observations

M. C. Vergara, D. R. G. Schleicher, A. Escala +7

This paper explores the theoretical relation between star clusters and black holes within, focusing on the potential role of nuclear star clusters (NSCs), globular clusters (GCs),…

Origin of supermassive black holes: predictions for the black hole population

M. Liempi, L. Almonacid, D. R. G. Schleicher +1

The presence of supermassive black holes at redshift z > 6 raises some questions about their formation and growth in the early universe. Due to the construction of new telescopes l…
