Abstract

In this work, we study in detail the collision formation scenario of black holes (BHs) which lie in the pair-instability (PI) mass gap. We study the collision scenario of two massive stars by means of a smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulation and the post-collision evolution with detailed stellar evolutionary codes. We find that the stellar collision scenario is a suitable formation channel to populate the BHs’ PI mass gap.
