abstract
Nuclear star clusters, which fragment into metal-poor stars in situ at the centers of protogalaxies, provide ideal environments for the formation of intermediate-mass black holes with masses $10^3-10^6M_\odot$. We utilize the semianalytic model implemented in Rapster, a public rapid cluster evolution code. We implement simple recipes for stellar collisions and gas accretion/expulsion into the code and identify the regimes where each channel contributes to the dynamical formation of intermediate-mass black holes via repeated mergers of stellar black hole seeds. We find that intermediate-mass black hole formation in gas-rich environments is almost inevitable if the initial mean density of the nuclear cluster is $>10^8M_\odot\,{\rm pc}^{-3}$. A million solar mass black hole can form within 100~Myr in the heaviest ($>10^7M_\odot$) and most compact ($<0.5~{\rm pc}$) nuclear clusters. We demonstrate that by today these resemble the observed range of nuclear clusters in dwarf galaxies and that there are potential gravitational-wave signatures of the massive black hole formation process.

Unified remnant models for aligned-spin, precessing, and eccentric binary black hole mergers
New analytic fits, gwModelRemS/P, predict remnant mass, spin, luminosity, and kick for black hole mergers from equal mass to q=1000, with a neural-flow model for precessing kicks.

Searching for intermediate mass ratio binary black hole mergers in the third observing run of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA
No confident intermediate mass ratio inspirals are found in LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA O3 data, yielding 90% upper limits of roughly 30-1000 Gpc^-3 yr^-1 on their local merger rate and showing higher modes boost search volume b...

January Food Benchmark (JFB): A Public Benchmark Dataset and Evaluation Suite for Multimodal Food Analysis
The abstract promises a food-image benchmark and a winning model, but the manuscript pages contain only a different paper on primordial black holes, leaving every benchmark claim unsubstantiated.
