THE MASS DISTRIBUTION OF STELLAR-MASS BLACK HOLES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 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. Using Markov Chain Monte Carlo calculations, we model the mass distribution both parametrically---as a power law, exponential,

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.

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 ...

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

Estimating the spins of stellar-mass black holes [PDF]
, 2011 We describe a program that we have embarked on to estimate the spins of stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries. We fit the continuum X-ray spectrum of the radiation from the accretion disk using the standard thin disk model, and extract the dimensionless spin parameter a* = a/M of the black hole as a parameter of the fit.

Indirect Evidence for Dark Matter Density Spikes around Stellar-mass Black Holes
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 It has been suggested for a long time that dark matter would form a density spike around a black hole. However, no promising evidence has been observed so far to verify this theoretical suggestion.
