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.

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 ...
