How Common Are Common Envelopes? Quantifying Their Role in Forming Gravitational-Wave Sources
Floor S. Broekgaarden, Ana Lam, Sasha Levina +14
A central goal of gravitational-wave astronomy is to use merging binary black hole (BBH), black hole-neutron star (BHNS), and binary neutron star (BNS) systems as fossils to recons…
Type Ib supernovae are bluer than Type Ic supernovae
Harim Jin, Selma E. de Mink, Sebastian Holzner +5
Type Ib and Ic supernovae (SNe Ib/Ic) are the bright finale of massive stars that have lost their hydrogen envelopes, making them powerful probes of mass stripping in massive star…
Unequal-mass, highly-spinning binary black hole mergers in the stable mass transfer formation channel
Aleksandra Olejak, Jakub Klencki, Xiao-Tian Xu +3
The growing database of gravitational-wave (GW) detections with the binary black holes (BHs) merging in the distant Universe contains subtle insights into their formation scenarios…
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…
The Uncertain Future of Massive Binaries Obscures the Origin of LIGO/Virgo Sources
K. Belczynski, A. Romagnolo, A. Olejak +6
The LIGO/Virgo gravitational--wave observatories have detected 50 BH-BH coalescences. This sample is large enough to have allowed several recent studies to draw conclusions about t…
Stellar response after stripping as a model for common-envelope outcomes
Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Michelle Wassink, Jakub Klencki +3
Binary neutron stars have been observed as millisecond pulsars, gravitational-wave sources, and as the progenitors of short gamma-ray bursts and kilonovae. Massive stellar binaries…
Populations of stellar mass Black holes from binary systems
Grzegorz Wiktorowicz, Łukasz Wyrzykowski, Martyna Chruslinska +3
In large and complicated stellar systems like galaxies it is difficult to predict the number and characteristics of a black hole population. Such populations may be modelled as an…
High mass X-ray binaries as progenitors of gravitational wave sources
Jakub Klencki, Gijs Nelemans
X-ray binaries with black hole (BH) accretors and massive star donors at short orbital periods of a few days can evolve into close binary BH systems (BBH) that merge within the Hub…
Double neutron stars: merger rates revisited
Martyna Chruslinska, Krzysztof Belczynski, Jakub Klencki +1
We revisit double neutron star (DNS) formation in the classical binary evolution scenario in light of the recent LIGO/Virgo DNS detection (GW170817). The observationally estimated…
Dynamical formation of Black Hole Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries in the field - an alternative to common envelope
Jakub Klencki, Grzegorz Wiktorowicz, Wojciech Gładysz +1
Very wide binaries (> 500 AU) are subject to numerous encounters with flying-by stars in the Galactic field and can be perturbated into highly eccentric orbits (e ~ 0.99). For such…
