Constraining the Binarity of Massive Black Holes in the Galactic Center and Some Nearby Galaxies via Pulsar Timing Array Observations of Gravitational Waves

Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | First 5 Authors: Xiao Guo, Qingjuan Yu, Youjun Lu, , | Summary: Massive black holes (MBHs) exist in the Galactic center (GC) and other nearby galactic nuclei. As natural outcome of galaxy mergers, some MBHs may have a black hole (BH) companion. In this paper, assuming that the MBHs in […]

Measurement of the inclusive branching fractions for $B_s^0$ decays into $D$ mesons via hadronic tagging

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle, Belle II Collaborations, :, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal | Summary: We report measurements of the absolute branching fractions $mathcal{B}(B_s^0 to D_s^{pm} X)$, $mathcal{B}(B_s^0 to D^0/bar{D}^0 X)$, and $mathcal{B}(B_s^0 to D^{pm} X)$, where the latter is measured for the first time. The results are based on a […]
