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…
Where are Gaia's small black holes?
M. Fishbach, K. Breivik, R. Willcox +1
Gaia has recently revealed a population of over 20 compact objects in wide astrometric binaries, while LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) have observed around 100 compact object binaries as gr…
A Mid-Thirties Crisis: Dissecting the Properties of Gravitational Wave Sources Near the 35 Solar Mass Peak
Soumendra Kishore Roy, Lieke A. C. van Son, Will M. Farr
One striking feature of binary black hole (BBH) mergers observed in the first decade of gravitational-wave astronomy is an excess of events with component masses around $35\,\mathr…
Not just winds: why models find binary black hole formation is metallicity dependent, while binary neutron star formation is not
L. A. C. van Son, S. K. Roy, I. Mandel +6
Both detailed and rapid population studies alike predict that binary black hole (BHBH) formation is orders of magnitude more efficient at low metallicity than high metallicity, whi…
