On the maximum stellar rotation to form a black hole without an accompanying luminous transient
Ariadna Murguia-Berthier, Aldo Batta, Agnieszka Janiuk +4
The collapse of a massive star with low angular momentum content is commonly argued to result in the formation of a black hole without an accompanying bright transient. Our goal in…
The origin of spin in binary black holes: Predicting the distributions of the main observables of Advanced LIGO
Simone S. Bavera, Tassos Fragos, Ying Qin +7
We study the formation of coalescing binary black holes via the evolution of isolated field binaries that go through the common envelope phase in order to obtain the combined distr…
Accretion Feedback from newly-formed black holes and its implications for LIGO Sources
Aldo Batta, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz
Most common formation channels of stellar mass black hole (BH) binaries like the ones observed by LIGO, often assume they are assembled from the direct collapse of massive pre-supe…
Probing the Black Hole Merger History in Clusters using Stellar Tidal Disruptions
Johan Samsing, Tejaswi Venumadhav, Liang Dai +5
The dynamical assembly of binary black holes (BBHs) in dense star clusters (SCs) is one of the most promising pathways for producing observable gravitational wave (GW) sources, how…
Tidal Disruptions of Stars by Binary Black Holes: Modifying the Spin Magnitudes and Directions of LIGO Sources in Dense Stellar Environments
Martin Lopez, Aldo Batta, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +2
Binary black holes (BBHs) appear to be widespread and are able to merge through the emission of gravitational waves, as recently illustrated by LIGO. The spin of the BBHs is one of…
The Formation of Rapidly Rotating Black Holes in High Mass X-ray Binaries
Aldo Batta, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Chris Fryer
High mass X-ray binaries (HMXRBs) like Cygnus X-1, host some of the most rapidly spinning black holes (BHs) known to date, reaching spin parameters . However, there…
