A 13 Year Black Hole Microlensing Survey in Omega Centauri
Zack Freeman, Maximilian Häberle, Anil Seth +11
Star clusters are born with massive stars that leave behind a large population of stellar mass black holes. These black holes may account for a large fraction of binary black hole…
Using Machine Learning to Model Stellar Collisions in our Galactic Center
Tristan C. Sand, Sanaea C. Rose, Elena González Prieto +8
Direct collisions in the inner pc of the Galactic center can alter the orbits and properties of stars. The outcome of a collision depends on a number of parameters, including the m…
Red vs. Blue: How metallicity shapes black hole dynamics and mergers in dense star clusters
Saloni Agrawal, Kyle Kremer, Michael Zevin +6
Dense star clusters are a well-established environment for the formation of gravitational wave sources through dynamical interactions. Recent LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) events such as…
Black hole mergers from dense star clusters with realistic binary populations
Christopher E. O'Connor, Kyle Kremer, Saloni Agrawal +5
We present a suite of 24 full-lifetime simulations of dense star clusters with the Cluster Monte Carlo (CMC) code, featuring updated input physics and a realistic distribution of i…
Survival Analysis of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in Dense Star Clusters
Miguel A. S. Martinez, Elena González Prieto, Frederic A. Rasio
Recently, an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) candidate was announced in the Galactic globular cluster Omega Centauri. IMBHs at the lower end of the traditional mass range have…
IMBH Progenitors from Stellar Collisions in Dense Star Clusters
Elena González Prieto, Newlin C. Weatherford, Giacomo Fragione +2
Very massive stars (VMSs) formed via a sequence of stellar collisions in dense star clusters have been proposed as the progenitors of massive black hole seeds. VMSs could indeed co…
Intermediate-mass Black Holes on the Run from Young Star Clusters
Elena González Prieto, Kyle Kremer, Giacomo Fragione +4
The existence of black holes (BHs) with masses in the range between stellar remnants and supermassive BHs has only recently become unambiguously established. GW190521, a gravitatio…
