Extremely Relativistic Tidal Disruption Events
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Extreme tidal disruption events (eTDEs), which occur when a star passes very close to a supermassive black hole, may provide a way to observe a long-sought general relativistic effect: orbits that wind several times around a black hole and then leave ...

The Dynamical Evolution of Stellar Black Holes in Globular Clusters
, 2014 Our current understanding of the stellar initial mass function and massive star evolution suggests that young globular clusters may have formed hundreds to thousands of stellar-mass black holes, the remnants of stars with initial masses from $\sim 20 ...

Magnetic massive stars as progenitors of ‘heavy’ stellar-mass black holes [PDF]
, 2016 The groundbreaking detection of gravitational waves produced by the inspiralling and coalescence of the black hole (BH) binary GW150914 confirms the existence of 'heavy' stellar-mass BHs with masses >25 M-circle dot.

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.

A SEARCH FOR STELLAR-MASS BLACK HOLES VIA ASTROMETRIC MICROLENSING [PDF]
, 2016 While dozens of stellar-mass black holes (BHs) have been discovered in binary systems, isolated BHs have eluded detection. Their presence can be inferred when they lens light from a background star. We attempt to detect the astrometric lensing signatures

WIMPs and stellar-mass primordial black holes are incompatible [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2019 We recently showed that postulated ultracompact minihalos with a steep density profile do not form in realistic simulations with enhanced initial perturbations.

Gravitational Radiation from Intermediate-Mass Black Holes
, 2002 Recent X-ray observations of galaxies with ROSAT, ASCA, and Chandra have revealed numerous bright off-center point sources which, if isotropic emitters, are likely to be intermediate-mass black holes, with hundreds to thousands of solar masses.

Non-Primordial Solar Mass Black Holes [PDF]
, 2018 We propose a mechanism that can convert a sizeable fraction of neutron stars into black holes with mass $\sim 1M_\odot$, too light to be produced via standard stellar evolution.

Repeated Mergers, Mass-gap Black Holes, and Formation of Intermediate-mass Black Holes in Dense Massive Star Clusters [PDF]
, 2021 Current theoretical models predict a mass gap with a dearth of stellar black holes (BHs) between roughly 50 M ⊙ and 100 M ⊙, while above the range accessible through massive star evolution, intermediate-mass BHs (IMBHs) still remain elusive.

The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): probing accretion onto stellar mass black holes
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesAccretion is a universal astrophysical process that plays a key role in cosmic history, from the epoch of reionization to galaxy and stellar formation and evolution. Accreting stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries are one of the best laboratories to
