Mergers of Stellar-Mass Black Holes in Nuclear Star Clusters
M. Coleman Miller, Vanessa M. Lauburg
Mergers between stellar-mass black holes will be key sources of gravitational radiation for ground-based detectors. However, the rates of these events are highly uncertain, given t…
Rates and Characteristics of Intermediate Mass Ratio Inspirals Detectable by Advanced LIGO
Ilya Mandel, Duncan A. Brown, Jonathan R. Gair +1
Gravitational waves (GWs) from the inspiral of a neutron star (NS) or stellar-mass black hole (BH) into an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) with mass between ~50 and ~350 solar…
Observing IMBH-IMBH Binary Coalescences via Gravitational Radiation
John M. Fregeau, Shane L. Larson, M. Coleman Miller +2
Recent numerical simulations have suggested the possibility of forming double intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) via the collisional runaway scenario in young dense star cluster…
Binary Encounters With Supermassive Black Holes: Zero-Eccentricity LISA Events
M. Coleman Miller, Marc Freitag, Douglas P. Hamilton +1
Current simulations of the rate at which stellar-mass compact objects merge with supermassive black holes (called extreme mass ratio inspirals, or EMRIs) focus on two-body capture…
Probing General Relativity With Mergers of Supermassive and Intermediate-Mass Black Holes
M. Coleman Miller
Recent observations and stellar dynamics simulations suggest that thousand solar mass black holes can form in compact massive young star clusters. Any such clusters in the bulge of…
Gravitational Radiation from Intermediate-Mass Black Holes
M. Coleman Miller
Recent X-ray observations of galaxies with ROSAT, ASCA, and Chandra have revealed numerous bright off-center point sources which, if isotropic emitters, are likely to be intermedia…
