Determining cosmological growth parameter for stellar-mass black holes

ABSTRACT It has recently been suggested that black holes (BHs) may grow with time, so that their mass is proportional to the cosmological scale factor to the power n, with suggested values n ≈ 3 for supermassive BHs in elliptical galaxies. Here, we test these predictions with stellar-mass BHs in …
