Orbital Migration of Interacting Stellar Mass Black Holes in Disks around Supermassive Black Holes II. Spins and Incoming Objects
Amy Secunda, Jillian Bellovary, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +6
The masses, rates, and spins of merging stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs) detected by aLIGO and Virgo provide challenges to traditional BBH formation and merger scenarios. An…
Disentangling nature from nurture: tracing the origin of seed black holes
Priyamvada Natarajan, Angelo Ricarte, Vivienne Baldassare +16
The origin and properties of black hole seeds that grow to produce the detected population of supermassive black holes are unconstrained at present. Despite the existence of severa…
AGN (and other) astrophysics with Gravitational Wave Events
K. E. Saavik Ford, Imre Bartos, Barry McKernan +14
The stellar mass binary black hole (sBBH) mergers presently detected by LIGO may originate wholly or in part from binary black hole mergers embedded in disks of gas around supermas…
Where are the Intermediate Mass Black Holes?
Jillian Bellovary, Alyson Brooks, Monica Colpi +7
Observational evidence has been mounting for the existence of intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs, 10^2-10^5 Msun), but observing them at all, much less constraining their masses,…
Electromagnetic Window into the Dawn of Black Holes
Zoltán Haiman, William N. Brandt, Alexey Vikhlinin +28
Massive 10^6-10^10 Msun black holes (BHs) are ubiquitous in local galactic nuclei. They were common by the time the Universe is several Gyr old, and many of them were in place with…
Opportunities for Multimessenger Astronomy in the 2020s
E. Burns, A. Tohuvavohu, J. M. Bellovary +22
Electromagnetic observations of the sky have been the basis for our study of the Universe for millennia, cosmic ray studies are now entering their second century, the first neutrin…
