When the black holes align: a subpopulation of aligned massive binary black holes observed via gravitational waves
Stefano Rinaldi, Charmaine Wong, M. Paola Vaccaro +4
In this work, we investigate the features present in the joint primary mass and effective spin distribution of binary black holes without relying on specific modelling assumptions.…
Milky Way Globular Clusters: Nurseries for Dynamically-Formed Binary Black Holes
Federico Angeloni, Konstantinos Kritos, Raffaella Schneider +4
We present a novel self-consistent theoretical framework to characterize the formation, evolution, and merger sites of dynamically-formed black hole binaries, with a focus on expla…
Probing Binary Black Hole Formation Channels through Cosmic Large-Scale Structure
William J. Smith, Krystal Ruiz-Rocha, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann +2
The growing number of binary black hole mergers detected through gravitational waves offers unprecedented insight into their underlying population, yet their astrophysical formatio…
Optically thick winds of very massive stars suppress intermediate-mass black hole formation
Stefano Torniamenti, Michela Mapelli, Lumen Boco +3
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are the link between stellar-mass and supermassive black holes. Gravitational waves have started unveiling a population of IMBHs in the $\sim…
Modeling gravitational wave sources in the MillenniumTNG simulations
Federico Marinacci, Marco Baldi, Giuliano Iorio +5
(Edited) We introduce a flexible framework for building gravitational wave (GW) event catalogs in hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation. Our framework couples the state-of-t…
Reconstructing the origin of black hole mergers using sparse astrophysical models
V. Gayathri, Giuliano Iorio, Hiromichi Tagawa +8
The astrophysical origin of binary black hole mergers discovered by LIGO and Virgo remains uncertain. Efforts to reconstruct the processes that lead to mergers typically rely on ei…
