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.

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 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 ...

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.

Can stellar mass black holes be quark stars? [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2009 We investigate the possibility that stellar mass black holes, with masses in the range of $3.8M_{\odot}$ and $6M_{\odot}$, respectively, could be in fact quark stars in the Color-Flavor-Locked (CFL) phase. Depending on the value of the gap parameter, rapidly rotating CFL quark stars can achieve much higher masses than standard neutron stars, thus ...

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.
