Modelling Double Neutron Stars: Radio and Gravitational Waves
Debatri Chattopadhyay, Simon Stevenson, Jarrod R. Hurley +2
We have implemented prescriptions for modelling pulsars in the rapid binary population synthesis code COMPAS. We perform a detailed analysis of the double neutron star (DNS) popula…
Detecting Double Neutron Stars with LISA
Mike Y. M. Lau, Ilya Mandel, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez +3
We estimate the properties of the double neutron star (DNS) population that will be observable by the planned space-based interferometer LISA. By following the gravitational radiat…
The effect of the metallicity-specific star formation history on double compact object mergers
Coenraad J. Neijssel, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Simon Stevenson +7
We investigate the impact of uncertainty in the metallicity-specific star formation rate over cosmic time on predictions of the rates and masses of double compact object mergers ob…
The origin of spin in binary black holes: Predicting the distributions of the main observables of Advanced LIGO
Simone S. Bavera, Tassos Fragos, Ying Qin +7
We study the formation of coalescing binary black holes via the evolution of isolated field binaries that go through the common envelope phase in order to obtain the combined distr…
Unmodelled Clustering Methods for Gravitational Wave Populations of Compact Binary Mergers
Jade Powell, Simon Stevenson, Ilya Mandel +1
The mass and spin distributions of compact binary gravitational-wave sources are currently uncertain due to complicated astrophysics involved in their formation. Multiple sub-popul…
STROOPWAFEL: Simulating rare outcomes from astrophysical populations, with application to gravitational-wave sources
Floor S. Broekgaarden, Stephen Justham, Selma E. de Mink +6
Gravitational-wave observations of double compact object (DCO) mergers are providing new insights into the physics of massive stars and the evolution of binary systems. Making the…
