Black holes: The next generation—repeated mergers in dense star clusters and their gravitational-wave properties
When two black holes merge in a dense star cluster, they form a new black hole with a well-
defined mass and spin. If that “second-generation” black hole remains in the cluster, it will …

Mass-gap mergers in active galactic nuclei
The recently discovered gravitational wave sources GW190521 and GW190814 have
shown evidence of BH mergers with masses and spins outside of the range expected from …

Constraining the primordial black hole scenario with Bayesian inference and machine learning: the GWTC-2 gravitational wave catalog
Primordial black holes (PBHs) might be formed in the early Universe and could comprise at
least a fraction of the dark matter. Using the recently released GWTC-2 dataset from the third …
