Realistic predictions for Gaia black hole discoveries: comparison of isolated binary and dynamical formation models
Pranav Nagarajan, Kareem El-Badry, Chirag Chawla +6
Astrometry from Gaia has enabled discovery of three dormant black holes (BHs) in au-scale binaries. Numerous models have been proposed to explain their formation, including several…
Detecting Detached Black Hole binaries through Photometric Variability
Chirag Chawla, Sourav Chatterjee, Neev Shah +1
Understanding the connection between the properties of black holes (BHs) and their progenitors is interesting in many branches of astrophysics. Discovering BHs in detached orbits w…
Gaia May Detect Hundreds of Well-characterised Stellar Black Holes
Chirag Chawla, Sourav Chatterjee, Katelyn Breivik +3
Detection of black holes (BHs) with detached luminous companions (LCs) can be instrumental in connecting the BH properties with their progenitors' since the latter can be inferred…
