Orbital Migration of Interacting Stellar Mass Black Holes in Disks around Supermassive Black Holes
Amy Secunda, Jillian Bellovary, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +5
The merger rate of stellar-mass black hole binaries (sBHBs) inferred by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) suggests the need for an efficient s…
Multimessenger Signatures of Massive Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies
Jillian Bellovary, Colleen Cleary, Ferah Munshi +4
Recent discoveries of massive black holes (MBHs) in dwarf galaxies suggest that they may have a more common presence than once thought. Systematic searches are revealing more candi…
Sowing black hole seeds: Direct collapse black hole formation with realistic Lyman-Werner radiation in cosmological simulations
Glenna Dunn, Jillian Bellovary, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann +2
We study the birth of supermassive black holes from the direct collapse process and characterize the sites where these black hole seeds form. In the pre-reionization epoch, molecul…
