RESOLVE: Rare Event Surrogate Likelihood for Gravitational Wave Paleontology Parameter Estimation
Ann-Kathrin Schuetz, Alexander Migala, Adam Boesky +3
The first detection of gravitational waves, recognized by the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics, has opened up a new research field: gravitational-wave paleontology. When massive stars e…
Investigating the Cosmological Rate of Compact Object Mergers from Isolated Massive Binary Stars
Adam Boesky, Floor S. Broekgaarden, Edo Berger
Gravitational wave detectors are observing compact object mergers from increasingly far distances, revealing the redshift evolution of the binary black hole (BBH) -- and soon the b…
Rapid stellar and binary population synthesis with COMPAS: methods paper II
Ilya Mandel, Jeff Riley, Adam Boesky +13
The COMPAS public rapid binary population synthesis code has undergone a number of key improvements since the original COMPAS methods paper (Team COMPAS: Riley et al., 2022) was pu…
SPLASH: A Rapid Host-Based Supernova Classifier for Wide-Field Time-Domain Surveys
Adam Boesky, V. Ashley Villar, Alexander Gagliano +1
The upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) conducted by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will detect millions of supernovae (SNe) and generate millions of nightly alerts, far…
The Binary Black Hole Merger Rate Deviates From the Cosmic Star Formation Rate: A Tug of War Between Metallicity and Delay Times
Adam Boesky, Floor S. Broekgaarden, Edo Berger
Gravitational-wave detectors are now making it possible to investigate how the merger rate of binary black holes (BBHs) evolves with redshift. In this study, we examine whether the…
