Hunting Dormant Black Holes in the Galaxy with SDSS-V

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. Bey... ver más

Descripción del proyecto 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 are. Such BHs cause characteristic time variations in radial velocity (RV), flux, and light-centroid positioning of their luminous companion, providing an avenue for detection and study. Spectroscopic, astrometric and photometric surveys now yield the data needed to search for dBHBs. Yet, recent dBHB candidates have instead turned out to be short-lived evolutionary phases of close binary stars: thus, any successful search for dBHBs must entail sifting through vast samples using a combination of these signatures, and rigorously eliminating ‘false positives’. I propose an unprecedented search for Galactic dBHBs that should find ~100 of them, drawing crucially on the spectra of ~580,000 massive stars from the SDSS-V survey. As SDSS-V project scientist, I have helped shape it as the only all-sky, multi-epoch spectroscopic survey, systematically focused on stellar physics. Novel analysis of these spectra will be meshed with detailed modeling of TESS light curves and Gaia astrometry. Through guaranteed-time, high-resolution follow-up spectroscopy on the candidates, we will get detailed RV curves and crucial ‘spectroscopic disentangling’ to identify false positives that have two luminous components. Either dBHBs do not exist in any numbers in our Galaxy, or this proposal will find and characterize them. Beyond the ‘risky’ search for dBHBs, this program will break ground in identifying numerous other dark companions to massive stars, such as white dwarfs or neutron stars.
