Modelling Neutron Star-Black Hole Binaries: Future Pulsar Surveys and Gravitational Wave Detectors

Debatri Chattopadhyay, Simon Stevenson, Jarrod R. Hurley +2

Binaries comprised of a neutron star (NS) and a black hole (BH) have so far eluded observations as pulsars and with gravitational waves (GWs). We model the formation and evolution…

Heavy double neutron stars: birth, mid-life and death

Shanika Galaudage, Christian Adamcewicz, Xing-Jiang Zhu +2

Radio pulsar observations probe the lives of Galactic double neutron-star (DNS) systems while gravitational waves enable us to study extragalactic DNS in their final moments. By co…

Bayesian inference for compact binary coalescences with BILBY: Validation and application to the first LIGO--Virgo gravitational-wave transient catalogue

I. M. Romero-Shaw, C. Talbot, S. Biscoveanu +56

Gravitational waves provide a unique tool for observational astronomy. While the first LIGO--Virgo catalogue of gravitational-wave transients (GWTC-1) contains eleven signals from…

Luminous Red Novae: population models and future prospects

George Howitt, Simon Stevenson, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez +5

A class of optical transients known as Luminous Red Novae (LRNe) have recently been associated with mass ejections from binary stars undergoing common-envelope evolution. We use th…

On the origin of GW190425

Isobel M Romero-Shaw, Nicholas Farrow, Simon Stevenson +2

The LIGO/Virgo collaborations recently announced the detection of a likely binary neutron star merger, GW190425. The total mass of GW190425 is significantly larger than the masses…
