On the origin of GW190521-like events from repeated black hole mergers in star clusters
LIGO and Virgo have reported the detection of GW190521, from the merger of a binary black
hole (BBH) with a total mass around 150 M⊙. While current stellar models limit the mass of …

Modeling dense star clusters in the milky way and beyond with the CMC cluster catalog
We present a set of 148 independent N-body simulations of globular clusters (GCs)
computed using the code CMC (Cluster Monte Carlo). At an age of∼ 10–13 Gyr, the …

The missing link in gravitational-wave astronomy: discoveries waiting in the decihertz range
The gravitational-wave astronomical revolution began in 2015 with LIGO's observation of the
coalescence of two stellar-mass black holes. Over the coming decades, ground-based …

Repeated mergers, mass-gap black holes, and formation of intermediate-mass black holes in dense massive star clusters
Current theoretical models predict a mass gap with a dearth of stellar black holes (BHs)
between roughly 50 M⊙ and 100 M⊙, while above the range accessible through massive …

Population synthesis of black hole binaries with compact star companions
Y Shao, XD Li - The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We perform a systematic study of merging black hole (BH) binaries with compact star (CS)
companions, including black hole–white dwarf (BH–WD), black hole–neutron star (BH–NS) …

Intermediate-mass black holes from stellar mergers in young star clusters
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) in the mass range bridge the gap between stellar
black holes (BHs) and supermassive BHs. Here, we investigate the possibility that IMBHs …
