A new channel to form IMBHs throughout cosmic time

Priyamvada Natarajan

Summary: The study presents a gas accretion driven mechanism in dense, gas-rich nuclear star clusters (NSCs) that can rapidly build-up black hole (BH) masses, scaling seed BHs to the intermediate mass black hole (IMBH) range. This new pathway allows for the formation of IMBHs with masses ranging from 50 to 10(5) solar masses, potentially revealing a new source for IMBHs.

Heavy Double Neutron Stars: Birth, Midlife, and Death

Shanika Galaudage et al.

Summary: This passage discusses the importance of radio pulsar observations and gravitational waves in studying DNS systems, and reveals the mass distribution and possible formation mechanisms of DNS through analysis of events like GW170817 and GW190425. The results suggest that fast-merging binaries may make up as much as 79% of DNS systems, with a typical delay time between their birth and death of several million years.

Merger Rate Density of Population III Binary Black Holes Below, Above, and in the Pair-instability Mass Gap

Ataru Tanikawa et al.

Summary: The study presents the merger rate density of Population III binary black holes, revealing that mergers with high-mass black holes may dominate in the future. The effective spins of these mergers are low and the number ratio of different types of mergers varies.

Is GW190521 the merger of black holes from the first stellar generations?

Eoin Farrell et al.

Summary: GW190521 challenges our understanding of late-stage evolution of massive stars and suggests the possibility of low-metallicity stars producing black holes without pulsational pair-instability. Models with low metallicity favor higher black hole masses, potentially up to 85 solar masses with uncertainties related to convective mixing and other factors.

Open data from the first and second observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo

Rich Abbott et al.

Summary: Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo are monitoring the sky and collecting gravitational-wave strain data with sufficient sensitivity. This paper describes the data recorded during their first and second observing runs, including gravitational-wave strain time series sampled at 16384 Hz. The datasets are freely accessible through the Gravitational Wave Open Science Center, providing essential data-quality information, documentation, tutorials, and supporting software for LIGO and Virgo data analysis.

On the Nature of GW190814 and Its Impact on the Understanding of Supranuclear Matter

Ingo Tews et al.

Summary: The observation suggests that the compact object has a mass of 2.50-2.67M99.9%, and even with relaxed constraints on the maximum mass of neutron stars, the probability of a binary black hole origin remains around 81%. Analysis of the allowed region in the mass-radius diagram for neutron stars indicates that the scenario with a neutron star as the secondary object would require a rather stiff equation of state.

Growth of Stellar-mass Black Holes in Dense Molecular Clouds and GW190521

Jared R. Rice et al.

Summary: When a stellar-mass black hole is embedded in a dense, massive molecular cloud and moves slowly with respect to the ambient medium for an extended period of time, it can significantly grow its mass through Bondi accretion, providing a novel pathway for the formation of massive black holes.

Massive Stellar Triples Leading to Sequential Binary Black Hole Mergers in the Field

Alejandro Vigna-Gomez et al.

Summary: This study explores the evolution of stellar triples with massive components leading to sequential binary black hole mergers, suggesting that these mergers can also occur outside of dense dynamical environments. The research also analyzes the evolution of two gravitational-wave sources, GW170729 and GW190521, proposing that the former originates from a low-metallicity field triple and arguing against the latter being formed in the field. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the importance of triple stellar evolution in understanding gravitational wave sources and other energetic transients.

GW190521 May Be an Intermediate-mass Ratio Inspiral

Alexander H. Nitz et al.

Summary: GW190521 is the first confident observation of a binary black hole merger with total mass exceeding 100 solar masses. Different priors led to a bimodal posterior distribution in mass, with the high-mass-ratio mode dominating in maximum-likelihood parameters. Results differ from previous studies, suggesting the presence of a mass gap and emphasizing the importance of considering all possible scenarios in analyses.

Binary population synthesis with probabilistic remnant mass and kick prescriptions

Summary: The probabilistic prescription for compact remnant masses and kicks significantly impacts massive binary population synthesis, filling the mass gap between neutron stars and black holes with low-mass black holes, but also leading to inconsistencies with the observed sample.
