英文摘要：

Planet Nine has been proposed to potentially be a black hole in the outer solar system. We investigate the accretion flares that would result from impacts of small Oort cloud objects, and find that the upcoming LSST observing program will be able to either rule out or confirm Planet Nine as a black hole within a year. We also find that LSST could rule out or confirm the existence of trapped planet-mass black holes out to the edge of the Oort cloud, indirectly probing the dark matter fraction in subsolar mass black holes and potentially improving upon current limits by orders of magnitude.

寻找银河系黑洞静止瞬变过程中的高能视界尺度辐射

Searching for High Energy, Horizon-scale Emissions from Galactic Black Hole Transients during Quiescence

我们利用费米长期存档寻找恒星质量黑洞的伽马射线对应物，并将脉冲星外隙模型应用于其磁层，研究了电子和正电子在事件视界附近的静电加速.当一个黑洞瞬变（BHT）是在一个低硬或静态，辐射效率低下的吸积流不能发出足够的兆电子伏的光子，所需的维持力在极漏斗磁层通过双光子碰撞。在这个电荷匮乏的间隙区域中，沿着磁场线产生电场，以将电子和正电子加速到超相对论能量。这些相对论轻子通过曲率和逆康普顿过程发射出大量的伽马射线。研究发现，当等离子体吸积率通常保持在快速旋转的恒星质量黑洞的爱丁顿值的0.01%和0.005%之间时，这些伽马射线发射表现出耀斑活动。通过分析从档案费米/LAT数据确定的检测限，我们发现，7年的平均占空比，这样的耀斑活动应小于5%和10%的XTE J1118+480和1A 0620-00，分别，和V404 Cyg的检测限是与理论预测。据预测，间隙发射可以区分从喷流发射，如果我们调查的高能光谱行为或观察附近的BHT在深静止同时在红外波长和非常高的能量。

Radial-velocity variation of a tertiary star orbiting a binary black hole in coplanar and non-coplanar triples: short- and long-term anomalous behavior

A number of ongoing surveys are likely to discover star-black hole binaries in our Galaxy in the near future. A fraction of them may be triple systems comprising an inner binary, instead of a single black hole, which might be progenitors of binary black holes (BBHs) routinely discovered now from the gravitational wave. We extend our previous proposal to locate inner BBHs from the short-term radial-velocity (RV) variation of a tertiary star in coplanar triples, and we consider noncoplanar triples and their long-term RV variations as well. Specifically, we assume coplanar and noncoplanar triples…
