Binary neutron star formation and the origin of GW170817
K. Belczynski, T. Bulik, A. Olejak +11
The first neutron star-neutron star merger was detected in by LIGO/Virgo in a galaxy in which the majority of star formation was taking place a long time ago (11 Gyr). LIGO/Virgo e…
Wind Roche Lobe Overflow as a way to make type Ia supernova from the widest symbiotic systems
Krystian Ilkiewicz, Joanna Mikolajewska, Krzysztof Belczynski +2
Symbiotic stars are interacting binaries with one of the longest orbital periods. Since they can contain a massive white dwarf with a high accretion rate they are considered a poss…
The influence of the distribution of cosmic star formation at different metallicities on the properties of merging double compact objects
Martyna Chruslinska, Gijs Nelemans, Krzysztof Belczynski
Binaries that merge within the local Universe originate from progenitor systems that formed at different times and in various environments. The efficiency of formation of double co…
The observed vs total population of ULXs
Grzegorz Wiktorowicz, Jean-Pierre Lasota, Matthew Middleton +1
We have analyzed how anisotropic emission of radiation affects the observed sample of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) by performing simulations of the evolution of stellar popul…
Neutron Star Mergers Might not be the Only Source of r-Process Elements in the Milky Way
Benoit Côté, Marius Eichler, Almudena Arcones +8
Probing the origin of r-process elements in the universe represents a multi-disciplinary challenge. We review the observational evidence that probe the properties of r-process site…
Spin orientations of merging black holes formed from the evolution of stellar binaries
Davide Gerosa, Emanuele Berti, Richard O'Shaughnessy +4
We study the expected spin misalignments of merging binary black holes (BHs) formed in isolation by combining state-of-the-art population-synthesis models with efficient post-Newto…
