Galaxies, 2023 We study radio and X-ray emissions from intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) and explore the unified model for accretion and ejection processes. The radio band survey of IMBH (candidate) hosted galaxies indicates that only a small fraction (∼0.6%) of ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The gravitational pull of an unseen companion to a luminous star is well known to cause deviations to the parallax and proper motion of a star. In a previous paper in this series, we argue that the astrometric mission Gaia can identify long-period ...

The Nature of the IMBH Candidate CXO J133815.6+043255: High-frequency Radio Emission
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The ultraluminous X-ray source CXO J133815.6+043255 is a strong candidate for a bona fide intermediate-mass black hole residing in the outskirts of NGC 5252.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We investigate the thermal condensation caused by a massive object that passes through the interstellar medium with high velocity, and propose a mechanism for creating a filamentary gaseous object, or interstellar contrail.

Demographics of Hierarchical Black Hole Mergers in Dense Star Clusters
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 With about one hundred mergers of binary black holes (BBHs) detected via gravitational waves by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration, our understanding of the darkest objects in the universe has taken unparalleled steps forward.

Constraints on relic magnetic black holes
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We present current direct and astrophysical limits on the cosmological abundance of black holes with extremal magnetic charge. Such black holes do not Hawking radiate, allowing those normally too light to survive to the present to do so.

Synchronizing the EMRIs and IMRIs in AGN Accretion Disks
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) and intermediate-mass-ratio inspirals (IMRIs) are important gravitational-wave (GW) sources for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA).

Intermediate Mass Black Holes: Their Motion and Associated Energetics
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2014 There is a lot of current astrophysical evidence and interest in intermediate mass black holes (IMBH), ranging from a few hundred to several thousand solar masses.

Partial Tidal Disruptions of Main-sequence Stars by Intermediate-mass Black Holes
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We study close encounters of a 1 M _⊙ middle-age main-sequence star (modeled using MESA) with massive black holes through hydrodynamic simulations, and explore in particular the dependence of the outcomes on the black hole mass.

Astronomy & AstrophysicsThe mass range of observed black holes extends from stellar-mass to supermassive scales, yet the existence of objects in the intermediate-mass range of 102–105 M⊙ remains unconfirmed.
