The origins of massive black holes
M Volonteri, M Habouzit, M Colpi - Nature Reviews Physics, 2021 - nature.com
Massive black holes (MBHs) inhabit galactic centres, and power luminous quasars and
active galactic nuclei, shaping their cosmic environment with the energy they produce. The …

Intermediate-mass black holes
JE Greene, J Strader, LC Ho - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
We describe ongoing searches for intermediate-mass black holes with M BH≈ 10–105 M⊙.
We review a range of search mechanisms, both dynamical and those that rely on accretion …

Early galaxy formation and its large-scale effects
Galaxy formation is at the heart of our understanding of cosmic evolution. Although there is a
consensus that galaxies emerged from the expanding matter background by gravitational …

Searching for a subpopulation of primordial black holes in LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave data
With several dozen binary black hole events detected by LIGO-Virgo to date and many more
expected in the next few years, gravitational-wave astronomy is shifting from individual …

The impact of the first galaxies on cosmic dawn and reionization
The formation of the first galaxies during cosmic dawn and reionization (at redshifts z= 5–
30), triggered the last major phase transition of our universe, as hydrogen evolved from cold …

Bayesian evidence for both astrophysical and primordial black holes: mapping the GWTC-2 catalog to third-generation detectors
We perform a hierarchical Bayesian analysis of the GWTC-2 catalog to investigate the mixed
scenario in which the merger events are explained by black holes of both astrophysical and …
