Stellar-Mass Black Holes [PDF]
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.

Low-rate accretion onto isolated stellar-mass black holes [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2005 Magnetic field behaviour in a spherically-symmetric accretion flow for parameters typical of single black holes in the Galaxy is discussed. It is shown that in the majority of Galaxy volume, accretion onto single stellar-mass black holes will be spherical and have a low accretion rate ($10^{-6} - 10^{-9}$ of the Eddington rate).

Observability of Isolated Stellar-mass Black Holes
The Astrophysical Journal LettersStellar-mass black holes (BHs) represent the natural end states of massive stars. It is estimated that 10 ^8 stellar-mass BHs are present in the Milky Way galaxy, a significant fraction of which are expected to be isolated.

Channels of Stellar-mass Black Hole Formation
The Astrophysical JournalAbstract On the basis of a large collection of detailed 3D core-collapse supernova simulations carried to late times, we identify four channels of stellar-mass black hole formation. Our examples for Channel 1 can involve the formation of black holes in energetic asymmetric supernova explosions.

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.

Investigating stellar-mass black hole kicks [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2012 We investigate whether stellar-mass black holes have to receive natal kicks in order to explain the observed distribution of low-mass X-ray binaries containing black holes within our Galaxy. Such binaries are the product of binary evolution, where the massive primary has exploded forming a stellar-mass black hole, probably after a common envelope phase

Close encounters of black hole—star binaries with stellar-mass black holes
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT Dynamical interactions involving binaries play a crucial role in the evolution of star clusters and galaxies. We continue our investigation of the hydrodynamics of three-body encounters, focusing on binary black hole (BBH) formation, stellar disruption, and electromagnetic (EM) emission in dynamical interactions between a BH ...

Constraints on the Cosmological Coupling of Black Holes from the Globular Cluster NGC 3201
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Globular clusters are among the oldest stellar populations in the Milky Way; consequently, they also host some of the oldest known stellar-mass black holes, providing insight into black hole formation and evolution in the early ( z ≳ 2) universe.
