Young Star Clusters Dominate the Production of Detached Black Hole-Star Binaries

Ugo Niccolò Di Carlo, Poojan Agrawal, Carl L. Rodriguez +1

The recent discovery of two detached black hole-star (BH-star) binaries from Gaia's third data release has sparkled interest in understanding the formation mechanisms of these syst…

Constraints on the Cosmological Coupling of Black Holes from the Globular Cluster NGC 3201

Carl L. Rodriguez

Globular clusters are among the oldest stellar populations in the Milky Way; consequently, they also host some of the oldest known stellar-mass black holes, providing insight into…

Modelling stellar evolution in mass-transferring binaries and gravitational-wave progenitors with METISSE

Poojan Agrawal, Jarrod Hurley, Simon Stevenson +3

Massive binaries are vital sources of various transient processes, including gravitational-wave mergers. However, large uncertainties in the evolution of massive stars, both physic…

Runaway and Hypervelocity Stars from Compact Object Encounters in Globular Clusters

Tomás Cabrera, Carl L. Rodriguez

The dense environments in the cores of globular clusters (GCs) facilitate many strong dynamical encounters among stellar objects. These encounters have been shown capable of ejecti…

Evolution of Massive Black Hole Binaries in Collisionally Relaxed Nuclear Star Clusters -- Impact of Mass Segregation

Diptajyoti Mukherjee, Qirong Zhu, Go Ogiya +2

Massive Black Hole (MBH) binaries are considered to be one of the most important sources of Gravitational Waves (GW) that can be detected by GW detectors like LISA. However, there…

Great Balls of FIRE II: The evolution and destruction of star clusters across cosmic time in a Milky Way-mass galaxy

Carl L. Rodriguez, Zachary Hafen, Michael Y. Grudić +4

The current generation of galaxy simulations can resolve individual giant molecular clouds, the progenitors of dense star clusters. But the evolutionary fate of these young massive…
