Stellar-mass black holes in young massive and open stellar clusters and their role in gravitational-wave generation [PDF]
, 2016 The study of stellar-remnant black holes (BH) in dense stellar clusters is now in the spotlight, especially due to their intrinsic ability to form binary black holes (BBH) through dynamical encounters, that potentially coalesce via gravitational-wave (GW)

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.

Science with the TianQin observatory: Preliminary results on stellar-mass binary black holes [PDF]
, 2020 We study the prospect of using TianQin to detect stellar-mass binary black holes (SBBHs). We estimate the expected detection number as well as the precision of parameter estimation on SBBH inspirals, using five different population models.

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 Global Inventory of Feedback
Galaxies, 2023 Feedback from both supermassive black holes and massive stars plays a fundamental role in the evolution of galaxies and the inter-galactic medium. In this paper, we use available data to estimate the total amount of kinetic energy and momentum created ...

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

Are stellar-mass binary black hole mergers isotropically distributed? [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT The Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational wave detectors have detected a population of binary black hole mergers in their first two observing runs. For each of these events, we have been able to associate a potential sky location region represented as a probability distribution on the sky.
