Localizing Momentum Waves on Mazes
Tobi Ramella, Nicholas P. Warner
We examine the proposal and analysis of arXiv:2404.14477 for putting momentum waves on mazes of intersecting M2 and M5 branes by computing a family of simple examples of momentum w…
The Stellar Winds Atlas II: Black Hole Formation at Solar Metallicity
Amedeo Romagnolo, Floor S. Broekgaarden, Alex C. Gormaz-Matamala +7
The paper builds a comprehensive grid of stellar evolution models to compare 14 wind prescriptions and shows that black‑hole masses at solar metallicity are determined by whether a…
Pebbles to Gems: Intermediate-mass black holes in the first star clusters
Benedetta Mestichelli, Manuel Arca Sedda, Marta Volonteri +9
The rapid assembly of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) observed at requires efficient seeding mechanisms in the early Universe. Population III (Pop. III) star clusters…
The role of accretion efficiency, natal kicks, and angular momentum transport in the formation of the Gaia black holes
Michela Mapelli, Cecilia Sgalletta, Johanna Müller-Horn +5
Gaia has the potential to deliver several tens of new dormant black holes (BHs) with low-mass stellar companions (hereafter, Gaia BHs) in the upcoming fourth data release. Three Ga…
The role of mass transfer efficiency in stability criteria: Implementation in SEVN and a test on blue stragglers and binary compact objects
M. Echeveste, G. J. Escobar, G. Iorio +12
Context: The stability of mass transfer through Roche-lobe overflow plays a key role in shaping the outcome of binary interactions. However, the criterion for mass transfer stabili…
AGN-driven BBH mergers: Black hole populations and hierarchical growth across the AGN parameter space
Maria Paola Vaccaro, Michela Mapelli, Alessandro Alberto Trani +1
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have been proposed as efficient environments for the formation of binary black holes (BBHs). We present an updated semi-analytical framework for BBH f…
