Tidal Stripping of a White Dwarf by an Intermediate-mass Black Hole [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
During the inspiralling of a white dwarf (WD) into an intermediate-mass black hole (∼10 ^2−5 M _⊙ ), both gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation are emitted.

Fast-moving stars around an intermediate-mass black hole in ω Centauri. [PDF]

Nature
Black holes have been found over a wide range of masses, from stellar remnants with masses of 5–150 solar masses (M☉), to those found at the centres of galaxies with M > 105M☉.

Weighing the black holes in ultraluminous X-ray sources through timing [PDF]

, 2008
We describe a new method to estimate the mass of black holes in Ultraluminous X-ray Sources (ULXs). The method is based on the recently discovered ``variability plane'', populated by Galactic stellar-mass black-hole candidates (BHCs) and supermassive ...

Tidal disruption of white dwarfs by intermediate mass black holes [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
Modeling ultra-close encounters between a white dwarf and a spinning, intermediate mass black hole requires a full general relativistic treatment of gravity. This paper summarizes results from such a study.

Search for intermediate mass black hole binaries in the first and second observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Virgo network [PDF]

, 2019
Gravitational-wave astronomy has been firmly established with the detection of gravitational waves from the merger of ten stellar-mass binary black holes and a neutron star binary.

Intermediate Mass Black Hole Induced Quenching of Mass Segregation in Star Clusters [PDF]

, 2008
In many theoretical scenarios it is expected that intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs, with masses M ~ 100-10000 solar masses) reside at the centers of some globular clusters. However, observational evidence for their existence is limited.

MOCCA code for star cluster simulations – IV. A new scenario for intermediate mass black hole formation in globular clusters [PDF]

, 2015
We discuss a new scenario for the formation of intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) in dense star clusters. In this scenario, IMBHs are formed as a result of dynamical interactions of hard binaries containing a stellar-mass black hole (BH), with other ...

LISA Constraints on an intermediate-mass black hole in the galactic centre [PDF]

Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023
Galactic nuclei are potential hosts for intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), whose gravitational field can affect the motion of stars and compact objects.

Gravitational wave probes on self-interacting dark matter surrounding an intermediate mass black hole [PDF]

Physical Review D, 2023
The presence of dark matter overdensities surrounding a black hole can influence the evolution of a binary system. The gravitational wave signals emitted by a black hole binary offer a promising means to probe the dark matter environments near a black ...

Merger Rates of Intermediate-mass Black Hole Binaries in Nuclear Star Clusters [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2022
Repeated mergers of stellar-mass black holes in dense star clusters can produce intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs). In particular, nuclear star clusters at the centers of galaxies have deep enough potential wells to retain most of the black hole (BH ...
