Detection of persistent helium absorption in the 91bg-like type Ia Supernova 2022an

Ping Chen, Avishay Gal-Yam, Subo Dong +14

We present optical and near-infrared observations of the fast-declining Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2022an. The photometric and spectroscopic properties identify it as a standard 91b…

Implications of low neutron star merger rates for gamma-ray bursts, r-process production and Galactic double neutron stars

Maya Fishbach, Alexander P. Ji, Wen-fai Fong +4

The first multimessenger discovery of a binary neutron star (BNS) merger, GW170817, proved that such mergers can source short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) and produce r-process element…

On the Astrophysical Origin of Binary Black Hole Subpopulations: A Tale of Three Channels?

Anarya Ray, Shirsha Mukherjee, Michael Zevin +1

There is increasing evidence for multiple binary black hole~(BBH) subpopulations in the cumulative gravitational wave catalog by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration. The astrophysic…

Characterization of type Ibn SNe

D. Farias, C. Gall, V. A. Villar +29

Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) are characterized by narrow helium (He I) lines from photons produced by the unshocked circumstellar material (CSM). About 80 SNe Ibn have been discovered…

Characterizing Binary Black Hole Subpopulations in GWTC-4 with Binned Gaussian Processes: On the Origins of the Peak

Omkar Sridhar, Anarya Ray, Vicky Kalogera

Understanding the astrophysical origins of binary black holes requires accurate and flexible modeling of multi-dimensional population properties. In this \textit{Letter}, using a d…

Exploring the evolution of gravitational-wave emitters with efficient emulation: Constraining the origins of binary black holes using normalising flows

Storm Colloms, Christopher P L Berry, John Veitch +1

Binary population synthesis simulations allow detailed modelling of gravitational-wave sources from a variety of formation channels. These population models can be compared to the…
