The X-ray binaries in M83: will any of them form gravitational wave sources for LIGO/VIRGO/KAGRA?
Iwona Kotko, Krzysztof Belczynski
There are 214 X-ray point-sources () identified as X-ray binaries (XRBs) in the nearby spiral galaxy M83. Since XRBs are powered by accretion onto…
Synthetic Population of Binary Cepheids. II. The effect of companion light on the extragalactic distance scale
Paulina Karczmarek, Gergely Hajdu, Grzegorz Pietrzyński +5
Because of their period-luminosity relation (PLR), classical Cepheids play a key role in the calibration of the extragalactic distance scale and the determination of the Hubble-Lem…
Iteratively Comparing Gravitational-Wave Observations to the Evolution of Massive Stellar Binaries
Vera Delfavero, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Krzysztof Belczynski +2
Gravitational-wave observations have the capability to strongly differentiate between different assumptions for how binary compact objects form. In this work, we show how to carefu…
Symmetry breaking in merging binary black holes from young massive clusters and isolated binaries
Sambaran Banerjee, Aleksandra Olejak, Krzysztof Belczynski
Properties of the to-date-observed binary black hole (BBH) merger events suggest a preference towards spin-orbit aligned mergers. Naturally, this has caused widespread interest and…
Can neutron star mergers alone explain the r-process enrichment of the Milky Way?
Chiaki Kobayashi, Ilya Mandel, Krzysztof Belczynski +9
Comparing Galactic chemical evolution models to the observed elemental abundances in the Milky Way, we show that neutron star mergers can be a leading r-process site only if at low…
The role of stellar expansion on the formation of gravitational wave sources
A. Romagnolo, K. Belczynski, J. Klencki +3
Massive stars are the progenitors of black holes and neutron stars, the mergers of which can be detected with gravitational waves (GW). The expansion of massive stars is one of the…
