HOLESOM: Constraining the Properties of Slowly Accreting Massive Black Holes with Self-organizing Maps

The Astrophysical Journal
Accreting massive black holes (MBHs, with M _• > 10 ^3 M _⊙ ) are known for their panchromatic emission, spanning from radio to gamma rays. While MBHs accreting at significant fractions of their Eddington rate are readily detectable, those accreting at ...

Angular momentum of dark matter black holes

Physics Letters B, 2017
We provide strongly suggestive evidence that the halo constituents of dark matter are Primordial Intermediate-Mass Black Holes (PIMBHs). PIMBHs are described by a Kerr metric with two parameters, mass M and angular momentum J.

Inverse Design of Nanoparticulate Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inverse design shifts nanomaterial development from empirical trial‐and‐error to predictive model‐driven strategies. It can rely on knowledge‐based, data‐based, or hybrid process and property functions. This perspective article provides a practical framework for applying inverse design based on instructive examples. It discusses which modeling approach

Collapse of Rotating Very Massive Stellar Cores Leading to a Black Hole and a Massive Disk as a Source of Gravitational Waves

The Astrophysical Journal
We derive models of rotating very massive stellar cores with mass ≈10 ^2 –10 ^4 M _⊙ that are marginally stable to the pair-unstable collapse, assuming that the core is isentropic and composed primarily of oxygen.

Enhanced Extreme Mass Ratio Inspiral Rates into Intermediate Mass Black Holes [PDF]

, 2023
Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) occur when stellar-mass compact objects begin a gravitational wave (GW) driven inspiral into massive black holes. EMRI waveforms can precisely map the surrounding spacetime, making them a key target for future space ...

Reactivity‐Guided Janus Graphene With Asymmetric Interfacial Electrostatics for Tunable Charge Transport

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stepwise dual‐side functionalization creates covalent Janus graphene with chemically and electrostatically asymmetric interfaces. The resulting nonadditive surface‐potential response and pronounced charge‐transport modulation demonstrate a versatile route for tailoring the electronic properties of graphene.

Entropy of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes

, 2009
Observational searches for Intermediate-Mass Black Holes (IMBHs), defined to have masses between 30 and 300,000 solar masses, provide limits which allow up to ten percent of what is presently identified as halo dark matter to be in the form of IMBHs.

From Young Massive Clusters to Old Globular Clusters: Density Profile Evolution and Intermediate-mass Black Hole Formation

The Astrophysical Journal
The surface brightness profiles of globular clusters are conventionally described with the well-known King profile. However, observations of young massive clusters (YMCs) in the local Universe suggest that they are better fit by simple models with flat ...

Phase‐Engineered MoS2 Quantum Monolayer Catalysts

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A new type of catalyst model—phase‐engineered MoS2 quantum‐monolayer catalyst (∼0.8 nm thick, < 6 nm in the lateral size; switchable freely among metallic 1T, semiconducting 2H, and a hybrid phase of metallic‐semiconducting 1T‐2H)—is reported. It can efficiently and stably drive photochemical H2, syngas and ammonia synthesis as a catalyst or co ...

Counting the Unseen. II. Tidal Disruption Event Rates in Nearby Galaxies with REPTiDE

The Astrophysical Journal
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are a class of transients that occur when a star is destroyed by the tides of a massive black hole (MBH). Their rates encode valuable MBH demographic information, but this can only be extracted if accurate TDE rate ...
