Formation of Stripped Stars From Stellar Collisions in Galactic Nuclei

C. Gibson, F. Kıroğlu, J. C. Lombardi +7

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are an important way to probe the properties of stellar populations surrounding supermassive black holes. Observed spectra of several TDEs, such as A…

Black Hole Accretion and Spin-up Through Stellar Collisions in Dense Star Clusters

Fulya Kıroğlu, Kyle Kremer, Sylvia Biscoveanu +2

Dynamical interactions in dense star clusters could significantly influence the properties of black holes, leaving imprints on their gravitational-wave signatures. While previous s…

Can slow pulsars in Milky Way globular clusters form via partial recycling?

Kyle Kremer, Claire S. Ye, Craig O. Heinke +3

Alongside the population of several hundred radio millisecond pulsars currently known in Milky Way globular clusters, a subset of six slowly spinning pulsars (spin periods $0.3-4\,…

Lower-mass-gap Black Holes in Dense Star Clusters

Claire S. Ye, Kyle Kremer, Scott M. Ransom +1

The existence of compact stellar remnants in the mass range has long been debated. This so-called lower mass gap was initially suggested by the lack of low-mass X-…

IMBH Progenitors from Stellar Collisions in Dense Star Clusters

Elena González Prieto, Newlin C. Weatherford, Giacomo Fragione +2

Very massive stars (VMSs) formed via a sequence of stellar collisions in dense star clusters have been proposed as the progenitors of massive black hole seeds. VMSs could indeed co…

Dynamical formation of Gaia BH3 in the progenitor globular cluster of the ED-2 stream

Daniel Marín Pina, Sara Rastello, Mark Gieles +3

Context. The star-black hole (S-BH) binary known as Gaia BH3, discovered by the Gaia Collaboration is chemically and kinematically associated with the metal-poor ED-2 stream in the…

Spin Doctors: How to diagnose a hierarchical merger origin

Ethan Payne, Kyle Kremer, Michael Zevin

Gravitational-wave observations provide the unique opportunity of studying black hole formation channels and histories -- but only if we can identify their origin. One such formati…
