Mergers of accreting stellar-mass black holes [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016 We present post-Newtonian $N$-body simulations on mergers of accreting stellar-mass black holes (BHs), where such general relativistic effects as the pericenter shift and gravitational wave (GW) emission are taken into consideration.

The Mass Distribution of Stellar-Mass Black Holes [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 We perform a Bayesian analysis of the mass distribution of stellar-mass black holes using the observed masses of 15 low-mass X-ray binary systems undergoing Roche lobe overflow and five high-mass, wind-fed X-ray binary systems.

Impact of the Accretion Disk Thickness on the Polarization of the Thermal Emission from Stellar Mass Black Holes [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, launched in 2021 December, enables precision measurements of the energy-dependent polarization of the X-ray emission from stellar mass and supermassive black holes.

Merging stellar-mass binary black holes [PDF]
Physics Reports, 2022 The LIGO and Virgo detectors have directly observed gravitational waves from mergers of pairs of stellar-mass black holes, along with a smaller number of mergers involving neutron stars. These observations raise the hope that compact object mergers could be used as a probe of stellar and binary evolution, and perhaps of stellar dynamics.

Stellar‐Mass Black Holes in the Solar Neighborhood [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2003 We search for nearby, isolated, accreting, ``stellar-mass'' (3 to $100M_\odot$) black holes. Models suggest a synchrotron spectrum in visible wavelengths and some emission in X-ray wavelengths. Of 3.7 million objects in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Early Data Release, about 150,000 objects have colors and properties consistent with such a spectrum, and

The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): probing accretion onto stellar mass black holes [PDF]
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesAccretion is a universal astrophysical process that plays a key role in cosmic history, from the epoch of reionization to galaxy and stellar formation and evolution. Accreting stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries are one of the best laboratories to

Templates for stellar mass black holes falling into supermassive black holes [PDF]
Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2003 The spin modulated gravitational wave signals, which we shall call smirches, emitted by stellar mass black holes tumbling and inspiralling into massive black holes have extremely complicated shapes. Tracking these signals with the aid of pattern matching

Stellar-Mass Black Holes and Ultraluminous X-ray Sources [PDF]
Science, 2012 We review the likely population, observational properties, and broad implications of stellar-mass black holes and ultraluminous x-ray sources. We focus on the clear empirical rules connecting accretion and outflow that have been established for stellar-mass black holes in binary systems in the past decade and a half.

Quasi-periodic oscillations of GHz-band polarization in a black hole [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsRelativistic jets from accreting black holes radiate non-thermal emission which is highly variable in different time scales. Previous studies on black holes of different mass scales, including supermassive and stellar-mass black holes, only report flux ...
