Evolution of Intermediate-Mass Black Hole X-Ray Binaries
The majority of the ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in external galaxies are believed to be accreting black holes in binary systems; some of the black holes could be as massive as ∼ 100 − 1000M⊙. We have performed evolution calculations for intermediate-mass black hole X-ray binaries, assuming they are formed in dense star clusters via tidal capture. The results are compared with those for s...
متن کاملExtreme-Mass-Ratio-Black-Hole-Binary Evolutions with Numerical Relativity
We perform the first fully nonlinear numerical simulations of black-hole binaries with mass ratios 100:1. Our technique is based on the moving puncture formalism with a new gauge condition and an optimal choice of the mesh refinement. The evolutions start with a small nonspinning black hole just outside the ISCO that orbits twice before plunging. We compute the gravitational radiation, as well ...
متن کاملEvolution of black-hole intermediate-mass X-ray binaries: the influence of a circumbinary disc
Justham, Rappaport & Podsiadlowski (2006) recently suggested that black-hole lowmass X-ray binaries (BHLMXBs) with short orbital periods may have evolved from black-hole intermediate-mass X-ray binaries (BHIMXBs). In their model the secondaries in BHIMXBs are assumed to possess anomalously high magnetic fields, so that magnetic braking can lead to substantial loss of angular momentum. In this p...
متن کاملOn the Rate of Detectability of Intermediate-Mass Black-Hole Binaries using LISA
We estimate the rate at which the proposed space gravitational-wave interferometer LISA could detect intermediate-mass black-hole binaries, that is, binaries containing a black hole in the mass range 10 – 100 M⊙ orbiting a black hole in the mass range 100 – 1000 M⊙. For oneyear integrations leading up to the innermost stable orbit, and a signal-to-noise ratio of 10, we estimate a detection rate...
متن کاملSearch for intermediate mass black hole binaries in the first observing run of Advanced LIGO
During their first observational run, the two Advanced LIGO detectors attained an unprecedented sensitivity, resulting in the first direct detections of gravitational-wave signals produced by stellar-mass binary black hole systems. This paper reports on an all-sky search for gravitational waves (GWs) from merging intermediate mass black hole binaries (IMBHBs). The combined results from two inde...
