Cosmologically coupled compact objects: a single parameter model for LIGO--Virgo mass and redshift distributions
Kevin S. Croker, Michael J. Zevin, Duncan Farrah +2
We demonstrate a single-parameter route for reproducing higher mass objects as observed in the LIGO--Virgo mass distribution, using only the isolated binary stellar evolution chann…
Stochastic gravitational-wave background as a tool to investigate multi-channel astrophysical and primordial black-hole mergers
Simone S. Bavera, Gabriele Franciolini, Giulia Cusin +3
The formation of merging binary black holes can occur through multiple astrophysical channels such as, e.g., isolated binary evolution and dynamical formation or, alternatively, ha…
Probing the progenitors of spinning binary black-hole mergers with long gamma-ray bursts
Simone S. Bavera, Tassos Fragos, Emmanouil Zapartas +15
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts are thought to be associated with the core-collapse of massive, rapidly spinning stars and the formation of black holes. However, efficient angular m…
Implications of Eccentric Observations on Binary Black Hole Formation Channels
Michael Zevin, Isobel M. Romero-Shaw, Kyle Kremer +2
Orbital eccentricity is one of the most robust discriminators for distinguishing between dynamical and isolated formation scenarios of binary black hole mergers using gravitational…
Modeling Dense Star Clusters in the Milky Way and Beyond with the Cluster Monte Carlo Code
Carl L. Rodriguez, Newlin C. Weatherford, Scott C. Coughlin +10
We describe the public release of the Cluster Monte Carlo Code (CMC) a parallel, star-by-star -body code for modeling dense star clusters. CMC treats collisional stellar dynamic…
Approximations to the spin of close Black-hole-Wolf-Rayet binaries
Simone S. Bavera, Michael Zevin, Tassos Fragos
Population synthesis studies of binary black-hole mergers often lack robust black-hole spin estimates as they cannot accurately follow tidal spin-up during the late black-hole-Wolf…
