Stellar-mass black holes in young massive and open stellar clusters - IV. Updated stellar-evolutionary and black hole spin models and comparisons with the LIGO-Virgo O1/O2 merger-event data

Sambaran Banerjee

Summary: This study conducted long-term, direct, relativistic many-body computations in model dense stellar clusters using up-to-date stellar-evolutionary, supernova, and remnant natal-kick models. The results showed that these models can produce dynamically paired black hole mergers that are in agreement with observations, while also suggesting that young massive clusters and moderately massive open clusters may produce detectable gravitational wave sources.

On the population III binary black hole mergers beyond the pair-instability mass gap

Kotaro Hijikawa et al.

Summary: The study reveals that in the presence of very massive third-generation stars, binary black hole mergers can reach a maximum mass of 686 solar masses, with low effective inspiral spin. No conclusive detection of mergers beyond the mass gap has been made so far, and future gravitational wave detectors are expected to observe more merger events.

Black Hole Mergers of AGN Origin in LIGO-Virgo's O1-O3a Observing Periods

V. Gayathri et al.

Summary: The study found that the active galactic nucleus model is more suitable for explaining black holes in the mass gap, but the results are still influenced by AGN model parameters. A 20% contribution of AGN-disk origin events can reproduce the black hole mass distribution in the pair-instability mass gap well, with minimal impact on the lower-mass black hole population.

Building Better Spin Models for Merging Binary Black Holes: Evidence for Nonspinning and Rapidly Spinning Nearly Aligned Subpopulations

Shanika Galaudage et al.

Summary: Recent studies on the distribution of black hole spins in merging binaries measured with gravitational waves have produced conflicting results. Some analyses suggest a significant fraction of binaries have black holes with spins tilted >90 degrees, while others propose a bimodal population with black holes either having negligible spins or aligned spin vectors. This study reanalyzes data from the LIGO-Virgo catalog using a revised spin model and suggests the presence of two distinct subpopulations, one with black holes of negligible spin and another with spin vectors preferentially aligned with the orbital angular momentum.

Dynamical evolution of population III stellar systems and the resulting binary statistics

Boyuan Liu et al.

Summary: In this study, N-body simulations were used to study the dynamical evolution of population III stellar systems and resulting binary statistics. The research found that binary properties were highly sensitive to initial conditions, with significantly lower efficiencies for the formation of Pop III XRBs than previously thought, making their contribution to the cosmic X-ray background negligible. Additionally, the efficiency of Pop III BBH mergers was estimated, with the need for three-body hardening by surrounding stars or close binary interactions to facilitate in-spirals of BBHs.

Simone S. Bavera et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of mass-transfer physics on observable properties of binary black hole populations and finds that low common envelope efficiency results in tighter orbits and more tidal spin-up. In the detectable population, all non-zero spin systems come from the common envelope channel, with a local rate density range of 17-113 Gpc(-3) yr(-1), while the stable mass transfer channel has a rate density of 25 Gpc(-3) yr(-1.

Summary: The study reveals unique characteristics of the merging binary black hole (BBH) population, including a specific primary mass spectrum and misaligned component spins leading to precession of the orbital plane. The research also estimates merger rates, indicating potential correlation between BBH rate and redshift but not exceeding the star formation rate. Additionally, recent exceptional events are examined in relation to population models, with GW190814 being identified as an outlier due to its low secondary mass.

Summary: Recent studies suggest that merging black hole binaries from young star clusters may go through a common envelope phase, impacting their spin properties and interactions with other black holes in the cluster. This scenario results in a local black hole merger rate density and reproduces trends observed in the spin distributions inferred from GWTC-2.

Impact of initial mass functions on the dynamical channel of gravitational wave sources

Summary: Dynamically formed black hole binaries are key sources of gravitational waves, with globular clusters being a major environment for their formation. The formation rate of merging black hole binaries is influenced by the initial mass function slope, with top-heavy IMFs leading to lower efficiency. However, star clusters with a top-heavier IMF could still contribute significantly to merging black hole binaries if initial mass and density are high.

Maximum black hole mass across cosmic time

Jorick S. Vink et al.

Summary: Recent detection of a 85M(circle dot) BH challenges the theory of pair-instability limit. Using mesa simulations, it is found that 90-100 M(circle dot) stars at reduced metallicity can produce BH within the 'impossible' range by proper consideration of core overshooting and stellar wind physics. This modeling doubles the maximum BH mass set by pair-instability and opens up possibilities for probing stellar BH mass as a function of metallicity and cosmic time.

Filling the black hole mass gap: Avoiding pair instability in massive stars through addition of nonnuclear energy

Joshua Ziegler et al.

Summary: A gap in the black hole mass function has been discovered, prompting the proposal of a new method involving the addition of an extra energy source to stars to avoid complete destruction in a pair-instability supernova and instead leave behind a black hole remnant. This phenomenon has been shown by adding an energy source independent of temperature and density to a massive star, allowing it to evolve into a black hole remnant in the mass gap.

Mass-gap Mergers in Active Galactic Nuclei

Summary: The recently discovered gravitational wave sources GW190521 and GW190814 show evidence of black hole mergers that deviate from traditional isolated stellar evolution models, indicating the possibility of hierarchical mergers in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) disks. The properties of the observed events are consistent with theoretical models of mergers in AGN disks, including high BH masses in GW190521 and low mass gap mergers in GW190814. These findings suggest that mergers in AGN disks may play a significant role in the formation of gravitational wave sources.

Black Hole Mergers from Star Clusters with Top-heavy Initial Mass Functions

Newlin C. Weatherford et al.

Summary: Recent observations of globular clusters suggest that the stellar initial mass function varies with metallicity and gas density, impacting black hole formation and cluster evolution. Calculating new GC models, it is found that clusters with top-heavy IMFs lose mass rapidly and evolve into dark clusters dominated by BHs. Additionally, these clusters produce more BBH mergers and even intermediate-mass black holes, contributing significantly to the local BBH merger rate detectable by LIGO/Virgo. Ultimately, further gravitational wave observations will shed light on the stellar IMF in old GCs and the formation of IMBHs at high redshifts.
