The Velocity Dispersion Profile of Nine Open Clusters in the Solar Neighborhood
The Astrophysical JournalWe analyze the velocity dispersion profiles of nine open clusters in the solar neighborhood using kinematic data from Gaia DR 3, aiming to identify potential dynamical signatures of stellar-mass black holes through a comparison of theoretical and ...

Optically thick winds of very massive stars suppress intermediate-mass black hole formation
Astronomy & AstrophysicsIntermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are the link between stellar-mass and supermassive black holes. Gravitational waves have started to unveil a population of IMBHs in the ~100–300 M⊙ range. Here, we investigate the formation of IMBHs from non-rotating

Predicting Stellar-mass Black Hole Populations in Globular Clusters [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Abstract Recent discoveries of black hole (BH) candidates in Galactic and extragalactic globular clusters (GCs) have ignited interest in understanding how BHs dynamically evolve in a GC and the number of BHs ...

Single‐ and Dual‐Atom Configurations in Atomically Dispersed Catalysts for Lithium–Sulfur Batteries
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Single‐atom and dual‐atom‐based atomically dispersed catalysts (ADCs) effectively address the shuttle effect and sluggish redox kinetics in Li–S batteries. With nearly 100% atomic utilization and tunable coordination environments, ADCs enhance LiPSs adsorption, lower conversion barriers, and accelerate sulfur redox reactions.

The Astrophysical JournalWe 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.

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.

Constraints on the Growth and Spin of the Supermassive Black Hole in M32 From High Cadence Visible Light Observations [PDF]
, 2017 We present 1-second cadence observations of M32 (NGC221) with the CHIMERA instrument at the Hale 200-inch telescope of the Palomar Observatory. Using field stars as a baseline for relative photometry, we are able to construct a light curve of the nucleus

Starburst-AGN Connection: A Lesson from High-z Powerful Radio Galaxies
, 2004 Powerful radio galaxies at high redshift are highly useful in studies of early evolution of AGN-hosting galaxies because their observed optical and near infrared light are dominated by their stellar population rather than the nonthermal continuum emitted

THE CLOSE STELLAR COMPANIONS TO INTERMEDIATE-MASS BLACK HOLES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT When embedded in dense cluster cores, intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) acquire close stellar or stellar-remnant companions. These companions are not only gravitationally bound, but also tend to hierarchically isolate from other cluster stars through series of multibody encounters.
