DESCRIPTION:Stellar black hole formation and detectionMonday 24th - Friday
  28th of March\, 2025Panasonic Auditorium\, Yukawa Hall\, YITPThe 2020s ar
 e proving to be an exceptionally fruitful era for detecting black holes th
 at formed from stars. Binary black hole mergers in distant galaxies have b
 een detected in gravitational waves by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) network 
 since 2015. Now in 2024\, this sample constitutes over 100 merger events\,
  with several challenging some basic predictions from stellar evolution th
 eory. Moreover\, since recent releases from the Gaia space observatory\, i
 t has been possible to find a handful of black holes in binaries with evol
 ved stars in our very own Milky Way Galaxy optically. This is in addition 
 to black holes in shorter period\, interacting binaries observed with e.g.
  X-ray.New constraints on stellar black hole formation can test theories i
 n particle physics\, cosmology\, quantum mechanics and nuclear physics. It
  is therefore of paramount importance to clarify what black hole astrophys
 ics theories are currently uncertain and which are robust in this exciting
  era of stellar black hole observations. This workshop can help contribute
  to progress on understanding black hole formation and its various applica
 tions. OVERVIEW TALKS Black holes in interacting X-ray binaries in the M
