Formation of Binary Black Holes Similar to GW190521 with a Total Mass of $\sim 150M_{\odot }$ from Population III Binary Star Evolution

Abstract

In the case of zero-metal (population III or Pop III) stars, we show that the total mass of binary black holes from binary Pop III star evolution can be $\sim 150M_{\odot }$, which agrees with the mass of the binary black hole GW190521 recently discovered by LIGO/Virgo. The event rate of such binary black hole mergers is estimated as 0.13--0.66$({\rho }_{\mathrm{SFR}}/(6\times 10^5{M}_{\odot }/{\mathrm{Mpc}}^3))Er{r}_{\mathrm{sys}}\mathrm{y}{\mathrm{r}}^{-1}\mathrm{Gp}{\mathrm{c}}^{-3}$, where ${\rho }_{\mathrm{SFR}}$ and $Er{r}_{\mathrm{sys}}$ are the cumulative comoving mass density of Pop III stars depending on star formation rate and the systematic errors depending on uncertainties in the Pop III binary parameters, respectively. The event rate in our fiducial model with ${\rho }_{\mathrm{SFR}}=6\times 10^5{M}_{\odot }/{\mathrm{Mpc}}^3$ and $Er{r}_{\mathrm{sys}}=1$ is 0.13--0.66$\mathrm{y}{\mathrm{r}}^{-1}\mathrm{Gp}{\mathrm{c}}^{-3}$, which is consistent with the observed value of 0.02--0.43$\mathrm{y}{\mathrm{r}}^{-1}\mathrm{Gp}{\mathrm{c}}^{-3}$.
