This project aims to investigate the origin of massive black holes observed in recent years by gravitational wave detectors. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of very massive stars utilising stellar evolution models, hydrodynamic simulations, light curve calculations and supernova observations, in order to explain the unexpected absence of a gap in the black hole mass distribution. Expected outcomes of this project include a better understanding of mass loss and the collapse of very massive stars as key factors for the observed black hole mass distribution.This should provide significant benefits for gravitational wave astronomy, but also for observations of stellar explosions by informing future survey strategies.

该项目旨在研究近年来由引力波探测器观测到的大质量黑洞的起源。该项目希望利用恒星演化模型、流体动力学模拟、光曲线计算和超新星观测，在超大质量恒星领域产生新的知识，以解释黑洞质量分布中意外没有间隙的原因。该项目的预期结果包括更好地理解质量损失和超大质量恒星的坍缩，这是观测到的黑洞质量分布的关键因素。这将为引力波天文学提供巨大的好处，同时也为恒星爆炸的观测提供信息，为未来的调查策略提供信息。
