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…
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…
