MOCCA-Survey Database – I. Unravelling black hole subsystems in globular clusters [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 In this paper, we discuss how the structural and observational properties of globular clusters (GCs) can be used to infer the presence of a black hole system (BHS) inhabiting their inner regions.

Black tattoos entail substantial uptake of genotoxicpolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in human skin and regional lymph nodes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Hundreds of millions of people worldwide have tattoos, which predominantly contain black inks consisting of soot products like Carbon Black or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). We recently found up to 200 μg/g of PAH in commercial black inks. After

The Constant Inner-Disk Radius of LMC X-3: A Basis for Measuring Black Hole Spin [PDF]
, 2010 The black-hole binary system LMC X-3 has been observed by virtually every X-ray mission since the inception of X-ray astronomy. Among the persistent sources, LMC X-3 is uniquely both habitually soft and highly variable.

Observational evidence for intermediate-mass black holes [PDF]
, 2017 Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), with masses in the range $100-10^{6}$ M$_{\odot}$, are the link between stellar-mass BHs and supermassive BHs (SMBHs).

MERGING BLACK HOLE BINARIES IN GALACTIC NUCLEI: IMPLICATIONS FOR ADVANCED-LIGO DETECTIONS [PDF]
, 2016 Motivated by the recent detection of gravitational waves from the black hole binary merger GW150914, we study the dynamical evolution of (stellar-mass) black holes in galactic nuclei, where massive star clusters reside. With masses of and sizes of only a

High-energy signatures of binary systems of supermassive black holes [PDF]
, 2016 Context. Binary systems of supermassive black holes are expected to be strong sources of long gravitational waves prior to merging. These systems are good candidates to be observed with forthcoming space-borne detectors.

Gliotransmission: Beyond Black-and-White
Journal of Neuroscience, 2018 Astrocytes are highly complex cells with many emerging putative roles in brain function. Of these, gliotransmission (active information transfer from glia to neurons) has probably the widest implications on our understanding of how the brain works: do ...

MOCCA-Survey Database I: Galactic globular clusters harbouring a black hole subsystem [PDF]
, 2018 There have been increasing theoretical speculations and observational indications that certain globular clusters (GCs) could contain a sizeable population of stellar mass black holes (BHs).
