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…
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…
