Modelling gravitational waves from precessing black-hole binaries: Progress, challenges and prospects

Mark Hannam

The inspiral and merger of two orbiting black holes is among the most promising sources for the first (hopefully imminent) direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs), and measur…

The Origin and Universality of the Stellar Initial Mass Function

Stella S. R. Offner, Paul C. Clark, Patrick Hennebelle +5

We review current theories for the origin of the Stellar Initial Mass Function (IMF) with particular focus on the extent to which the IMF can be considered universal across various…

Practical Cosmology with Lenses

Stephen Eales

Surveys with submillimetre telescopes are revealing large numbers of gravitationally lensed high-redshift sources. I describe how, in practice, these lensed systems could be simult…
