From the Milky Way to the Early Universe: How Metallicity Shapes the Formation of Double Neutron Stars
Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Monica Gallegos-Garcia +10
Among the compact binaries detected through gravitational wave (GW) emission, double neutron stars (DNSs) hold the unique distinction of having well-characterized local analogs in…
The Mass-Ratio Distribution of the Low-Mass Binary Black Hole Subpopulation: A Natural Outcome of Isolated Binary Evolution
Monica Gallegos-Garcia, Anarya Ray, Vicky Kalogera +7
The observed merging binary black hole population is increasingly consistent with being composed of a mixture of subpopulations, each likely the result of different formation mecha…
High-mass binary black hole mergers from detailed binary evolution models
Max M. Briel, Olcay Bıyıklı, Tassos Fragos +10
Gravitational-wave observations reveal a population of binary black hole (BBH) mergers with primary masses above , extending into and potentially beyond…
When the stars don't align: Investigating inconsistencies in binary black hole formation across population synthesis codes
Alexandra G. Guerrero, Michael Zevin, Duncan B. Maclean +4
Binary population synthesis (BPS) codes are valuable tools for investigating the end-to-end lives of binary stars as well as a myriad of observed astrophysical phenomena. Many ``ra…
Twin Peaks: Resolving Features in the Binary Black Hole Mass Function with COSMIC-METISSE
Duncan B. Maclean, Poojan Agrawal, Katelyn Breivik +4
Gravitational waves from inspiraling binary black holes (BBHs) provide insights into the lives and deaths of massive stars. Population synthesis allows us to model these binaries t…
Red vs. Blue: How metallicity shapes black hole dynamics and mergers in dense star clusters
Saloni Agrawal, Kyle Kremer, Michael Zevin +6
Dense star clusters are a well-established environment for the formation of gravitational wave sources through dynamical interactions. Recent LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) events such as…
