The black hole spin in coalescing binary black holes and high-mass X-ray binaries
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 December 2019
Abstract
The six LIGO detections of merging black holes (BHs) allowed to infer slow spin values for the two pre-merging BHs. The three cases where the spins of the BHs can be determined in high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) show that those BHs have high spin values. We discuss here scenarios explaining these differences in spin properties in these two classes of object.
