Mass-gap Mergers in Active Galactic Nuclei
Hiromichi Tagawa, Bence Kocsis, Zoltan Haiman +3
The recently discovered gravitational wave sources GW190521 and GW190814 have shown evidence of BH mergers with masses and spins that could be outside of the range expected from is…
Eccentric Black Hole Mergers in Active Galactic Nuclei
Hiromichi Tagawa, Bence Kocsis, Zoltan Haiman +3
The astrophysical origin of gravitational wave (GW) transients is a timely open question in the wake of discoveries by LIGO/Virgo. In active galactic nuclei (AGNs), binaries form a…
AGN as Potential Factories for Eccentric Black Hole Mergers
J. Samsing, I. Bartos, D. J. D'Orazio +6
There is some weak evidence that the black hole merger named GW190521 had a non-zero eccentricity. In addition, the component black holes' masses exceeded the limit predicted by st…
Black Hole Formation in the Lower Mass Gap through Mergers and Accretion in AGN Disks
Y. Yang, V. Gayathri, I. Bartos +3
The heaviest neutron stars and lightest black holes expected to be produced by stellar evolution leave the mass-range M M largely unpop…
Spin Evolution of Stellar-mass Black Hole Binaries in Active Galactic Nuclei
Hiromichi Tagawa, Zoltan Haiman, Imre Bartos +1
The astrophysical origin of gravitational wave (GW) events is one of the most timely problems in the wake of the LIGO/Virgo discoveries. In active galactic nuclei (AGN), binaries f…
Cosmic Evolution of Stellar-mass Black Hole Merger Rate in Active Galactic Nuclei
Y. Yang, I. Bartos, Z. Haiman +3
Binary black hole mergers encode information about their environment and the astrophysical processes that led to their formation. Measuring the redshift dependence of their merger…
