A 70Msun BH was discovered in Milky Way disk in a long period and almost circular detached binary system (LB-1) with a high metallicity 8Msun B star companion. Current consensus on the formation of BHs from high metallicity stars limits the black hole mass to be below 20Msun. Using simple evolutionary model, we show that the formation of a 70Msun BH in high metallicity environment is possible if stellar wind mass loss rates are reduced by factor of 5. As observations indicate, a fraction of massive stars have surface magnetic fields which may quench the wind mass-loss, independently of stellar mass and metallicity. We also computed detailed stellar evolution models and we confirm such a scenario. A non-rotating 85Msun model at Z=0.014 with decreased winds ends up as a 71Msun star prior core-collapse with a 32Msun helium core and a 28Msun CO core. Such star avoids pair-instability pulsation supernova mass loss and may form a 70Msun BH in the direct collapse. Stars that can form such BHs expand to significant size with radius of R>600Rsun, exceeding the size of LB-1 orbit. Therefore, we can explain the formation of BHs upto 70Msun at high metallicity and this result is independent from LB-1. However, if LB-1 hosts a massive BH we are unable to explain how such a binary star system could have formed without invoking some exotic scenarios.

It is speculated that a merger of two massive stellar-origin BHs in a dense stellar environment may lead to the formation of a massive BH in the pair-instability mass gap (50-135 Msun). Such a merger-formed BH is expected to typically have a high spi n (a=0.7). If such a massive BH acquires another BH it may lead to another merger detectable by LIGO/Virgo in gravitational waves. Acquiring a companion may be hindered by gravitational-wave kick/recoil, which accompanies the first merger and may quickly remove the massive BH from its parent globular or nuclear cluster. We test whether it is possible for a massive merger-formed BH in the pair-instability gap to be retained in its parent cluster and have low spin. Such a BH would be indistinguishable from a primordial BH. We employed results from numerical relativity calculations of black hole mergers to explore the range of gravitational-wave recoil velocities for various combinations of merging BH masses and spins. We compared merger-formed massive BH speeds with typical escape velocities from globular and nuclear clusters. We show that a globular cluster is highly unlikely to form and retain a 100 Msun BH if the spin of the BH is low (a<0.3) as such BHs acquire high recoil speeds (>200 km/s) that exceed typical escape speeds from globular clusters (50 km/s). However, a very low-spinning (a=0.1) and massive (100 Msun) BH could be formed and retained in a galactic nuclear star cluster. Even though such massive merger-formed BHs with such low spins acquire high speeds during formation (400 km/s), they may avoid ejection since massive nuclear clusters have high escape velocities (300-500 km/s). A future detection of a massive BH in the pair-instability mass gap with low spin would therefore not be proof of the existence of primordial BHs, which are sometimes claimed to have low spins and arbitrarily high masses.
LIGO has detected gravitational waves from massive binary black hole mergers. In order to explain the origin of such massive stellar-mass black holes, extreme metal poor stars including first stars have been invoked. However, black holes do not carry information of the metallicity. In order to check the metallicity dependence of the black hole formation, we focus on galactic black hole-main sequence binaries (BH-MSs). Using a binary population synthesis method, we find that $gaia$ can detect $sim200-400$ BH-MSs whose metallicity is $zsun$ and $sim70-400$ BH-MSs whose metallicity is $0.1zsun$. With the spectroscopic observation on 4-m class telescopes, we can check the metallicity of BH-MSs. The metallicity dependence of the black hole formation might be checked by the astrometry and spectroscopic observations.

We review the main physical processes that lead to the formation of stellar binary black holes (BBHs) and to their merger. BBHs can form from the isolated evolution of massive binary stars. The physics of core-collapse supernovae and the process of c ommon envelope are two of the main sources of uncertainty about this formation channel. Alternatively, two black holes can form a binary by dynamical encounters in a dense star cluster. The dynamical formation channel leaves several imprints on the mass, spin and orbital properties of BBHs.
The gravitational-wave signal GW190521 is consistent with a binary black hole merger source at redshift 0.8 with unusually high component masses, $85^{+21}_{-14},M_{odot}$ and $66^{+17}_{-18},M_{odot}$, compared to previously reported events, and sho ws mild evidence for spin-induced orbital precession. The primary falls in the mass gap predicted by (pulsational) pair-instability supernova theory, in the approximate range $65 - 120,M_{odot}$. The probability that at least one of the black holes in GW190521 is in that range is 99.0%. The final mass of the merger $(142^{+28}_{-16},M_{odot})$ classifies it as an intermediate-mass black hole. Under the assumption of a quasi-circular binary black hole coalescence, we detail the physical properties of GW190521s source binary and its post-merger remnant, including component masses and spin vectors. Three different waveform models, as well as direct comparison to numerical solutions of general relativity, yield consistent estimates of these properties. Tests of strong-field general relativity targeting the merger-ringdown stages of coalescence indicate consistency of the observed signal with theoretical predictions. We estimate the merger rate of similar systems to be $0.13^{+0.30}_{-0.11},{rm Gpc}^{-3},rm{yr}^{-1}$. We discuss the astrophysical implications of GW190521 for stellar collapse, and for the possible formation of black holes in the pair-instability mass gap through various channels: via (multiple) stellar coalescence, or via hierarchical merger of lower-mass black holes in star clusters or in active galactic nuclei. We find it to be unlikely that GW190521 is a strongly lensed signal of a lower-mass black hole binary merger. We also discuss more exotic possible sources for GW190521, including a highly eccentric black hole binary, or a primordial black hole binary.
We find that the formation of MWC 656 (the first Be binary containing a black hole) involves a common envelope phase and a supernova explosion. This result supports the idea that a rapidly rotating Be star can emerge out of a common envelope phase, w hich is very intriguing because this evolutionary stage is thought to be too fast to lead to significant accretion and spin up of the B star. We predict $sim 10-100$ of B BH binaries to currently reside in the Galactic disk, among which around $1/3$ contain a Be star, but there is only a small chance to observe a system with parameters resembling MWC 656. If MWC 656 is representative of intrinsic Galactic Be BH binary population, it may indicate that standard evolutionary theory needs to be revised. This would pose another evolutionary problem in understanding BH binaries, with BH X-ray Novae formation issue being the prime example. The future evolution of MWC 656 with a $sim 5$ M$_{odot}$ black hole and with a $sim 13$ M$_{odot}$ main sequence companion on a $sim 60$ day orbit may lead to the formation of a coalescing BH-NS system. The estimated Advanced LIGO/Virgo detection rate of such systems is up to $sim 0.2$ yr$^{-1}$. This empirical estimate is a lower limit as it is obtained with only one particular evolutionary scenario, the MWC 656 binary. This is only a third such estimate available (after Cyg X-1 and Cyg X-3), and it lends additional support to the existence of so far undetected BH--NS binaries.
