Escape speed of stellar clusters from multiple-generation black-hole mergers in the upper mass gap
Davide Gerosa, Emanuele Berti
Pair instabilities in supernovae might prevent the formation of black holes with masses between and . Multiple generations of black-hole mergers…
Constraining the fraction of binary black holes formed in isolation and young star clusters with gravitational-wave data
Yann Bouffanais, Michela Mapelli, Davide Gerosa +4
Ten binary black-hole mergers have already been detected during the first two observing runs of advanced LIGO and Virgo, and many more are expected to be observed in the near futur…
Disentangling nature from nurture: tracing the origin of seed black holes
Priyamvada Natarajan, Angelo Ricarte, Vivienne Baldassare +16
The origin and properties of black hole seeds that grow to produce the detected population of supermassive black holes are unconstrained at present. Despite the existence of severa…
The Discovery Potential of Space-Based Gravitational Wave Astronomy
Neil J. Cornish, Emanuele Berti, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann +5
A space-based interferometer operating in the previously unexplored mHz gravitational band has tremendous discovery potential. If history is any guide, the opening of a new spectra…
AGN (and other) astrophysics with Gravitational Wave Events
K. E. Saavik Ford, Imre Bartos, Barry McKernan +14
The stellar mass binary black hole (sBBH) mergers presently detected by LIGO may originate wholly or in part from binary black hole mergers embedded in disks of gas around supermas…
Electromagnetic Window into the Dawn of Black Holes
Zoltán Haiman, William N. Brandt, Alexey Vikhlinin +28
Massive 10^6-10^10 Msun black holes (BHs) are ubiquitous in local galactic nuclei. They were common by the time the Universe is several Gyr old, and many of them were in place with…
