Rapid intermediate-mass black hole formation via runaway mergers of black holes

Yining Sun, Long Wang

Observations indicate that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in high-redshift galaxies formed on timescales far shorter than classical growth models allow. One hypothesis suggests i…

GW231123 Formation from Population III Stars: Isolated Binary Evolution

Ataru Tanikawa, Shuai Liu, WeiWei Wu +2

GW231123 is a merger of two black holes (BHs) with estimated masses exceeding , making them the most massive BHs discovered to date via gravitational wave (GW…

Double Compact Binary Merger Rate Density in Open Star Clusters: Black Holes, Neutron Stars, and White Dwarfs

Savannah Cary, Michiko Fujii, Long Wang +1

Studying compact-object binary mergers in star clusters is crucial for understanding stellar evolution and dynamical interactions in galaxies. Open clusters in particular are more…

Detection for Intermediate-mass Binary Black Holes in Population III Star Clusters with TianQin

Hanzhang Wang, Shuai Liu, Han Wang +3

Context. Population III star clusters are predicted to form in unenriched dark matter halos. Direct N-body simulation of Pop III clusters implies the possible formation and merger…

Gravitational Wave Astronomy With TianQin

En-Kun Li, Shuai Liu, Alejandro Torres-Orjuela +50

The opening of the gravitational wave window has significantly enhanced our capacity to explore the universe's most extreme and dynamic sector. In the mHz frequency range, a divers…

Compact Binary Formation in Open Star Clusters III: Probability of Binary Black Holes Hidden in Gaia Black Hole Binary

Ataru Tanikawa, Long Wang, Michiko S. Fujii +3

The Gaia mission and its follow-up observations have discovered a few candidates of non-interacting single black holes (BHs) and visible stars, Gaia BH1, BH2, and BH3, collectively…

Simulations predict intermediate-mass black hole formation in globular clusters

Michiko S. Fujii, Long Wang, Ataru Tanikawa +2

Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are those between 100 and 10 solar masses (); their formation process is debated. One possible origin is the growth of less mas…

Compact Binary Formation in Open Star Clusters II: Difficulty of Gaia NS formation in low-mass star clusters

Ataru Tanikawa, Long Wang, Michiko S. Fujii

Gaia mission offers opportunities to search for compact binaries not involved in binary interactions (hereafter inert compact binaries), and results in the discoveries of binaries…

Merging Hierarchical Triple Black Hole Systems with Intermediate-mass Black Holes in Population III Star Clusters

Shuai Liu, Long Wang, Yi-Ming Hu +2

Theoretical predictions suggest that very massive stars have the potential to form through multiple collisions and eventually evolve into intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) with…
