A Diverse Distribution of Black Hole Spins from Stable Mass Transfer
Linhao Ma, Jakub Klencki, Eliot Quataert +1
Gravitational wave observations have found over 300 merging binary black holes, yet their origins remain uncertain. Recent work showed that many may come from isolated stellar bina…
Multiplicity of Massive Stars at Low Metallicity: Early Results from the BLOeM Campaign
T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, M. Abdul-Masih +73
The BLOeM campaign presents the first large‑scale spectroscopic survey of 929 massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud, revealing a high intrinsic binary fraction (>70%) among m…
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…
A Strongly Parametrized Mass Ratio Model for the Stable Mass Transfer Channel: a Case Study of the Peak
Jaxen Godfrey, Lieke van Son, Ben Farr
The mass ratio of merging binary black holes (BBHs) carries information about their formation history, yet has received less attention than masses, spins and eccentricities as a ch…
From cosmological simulations to binary black hole mergers: The impact of using analytical star formation history models on gravitational-wave source populations
Sasha Levina, Floor Broekgaarden, Lieke van Son +4
Observations of binary black hole (BBH) mergers provide a unique window into the lives of massive stars across cosmic time. Connecting redshift-dependent merger properties to massi…
The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
