This project aims to identify dormant black holes in binary systems within the Milky Way by analyzing data from a large spectroscopic survey. By examining the signatures of these black holes, the research seeks to enhance our understanding of stellar evolution and the formation of gravitational wave events.
Stellar evolution models suggest that there ought to be ~10e7 stellar-mass black holes (BHs) in our Milky Way.
However, we currently know only of ~20 BHs, and those are in binaries where accretion makes them shine in X-rays.
Beyond that, no non-accreting ‘dormant’ BH has ever been robustly identified across the Galactic disk.
Finding dormant BHs in binaries (dBHBs) is fundamental to learning when which BHs form, how massive stars die, and what the precursors of BH gravitational wave events…
