On the Mass Distribution of Stellar-Mass Black Holes
Open Astronomy, 2014 The observational stellar-mass black hole mass distribution exhibits a maximum at about 8 M⊙. It can be explained via the details of the massive star evolution, supernova explosions, or consequent black hole evolution.

The masses and spins of neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes [PDF]
Physics Reports, 2015 Stellar-mass black holes and neutron stars represent extremes in gravity, density, and magnetic fields. They therefore serve as key objects in the study of multiple frontiers of physics. In addition, their origin (mainly in core-collapse supernovae) and evolution (via accretion or, for neutron stars, magnetic spindown and reconfiguration) touch upon ...

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.

SymmetryStellar-mass black holes (3 M⊙≲MBH≲150 M⊙) are the natural product of the evolution of heavy stars (Mstar≳20 M⊙). In our Galaxy, we expect that 108–109 stellar-mass black holes have been formed from the gravitational collapse of heavy stars, but currently we know fewer than 100 objects.

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 ...

On the Signature of Black Holes on the Quenched Stellar Mass Function
The Astrophysical JournalAs star-forming galaxies approach or exceed a stellar mass of around 10 ^11 M _⊙ , they are increasingly likely to be quenched in a process generically called mass quenching.

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.

Mergers as a probe of particle dark matter
SciPost Physics Proceedings, 2023 Black holes below Chandrasekhar mass limit (1.4 $M_{\odot}$) can not be produced via any standard stellar evolution. Recently, gravitational wave experiments have also discovered unusually low mass black holes whose origin is yet to be known.
