The diverse outcomes of binary white dwarf mergers and connections to Galactic LISA sources
Kyle Kremer, Katelyn Breivik, Claire S. Ye
The paper creates mock catalogs of Milky Way white dwarf mergers using population synthesis and galaxy simulations, and examines the diverse astrophysical outcomes and their releva…
A Stellar Role Reversal: Multiple Features in the Mass and Mass Ratio Distributions of Merging Binary Black Holes from Stable Mass Transfer
Gina Chen, Katelyn Breivik, Lieke A. C. van Son
Observations of gravitational wave events have enabled the measurement of the merging binary black hole (BBH) mass function. This mass function encodes the physical interactions wh…
The host galaxies and merger environments of short and long gamma-ray bursts producing kilonovae
Hannah Skobe, Brendan O'Connor, Antonella Palmese +3
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have traditionally been classified by their prompt emission duration and spectral hardness, with short GRBs (sGRB; ) originating from co…
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 Not-So-Compact Companion: Massive, Oversize White Dwarf in a Post-Common Envelope Eclipsing Binary
Erin M. Motherway, Evan Linck, Robert D. Mathieu +5
We provide a detailed characterization of 2M07515777+1807352, a post-common envelope eclipsing binary system with a 10.3 d, nearly, but not quite, circular orbit (e = 0.02). This s…
Properties of Core Collapse Supernovae from Binary Population Synthesis
Mark Martinez, Anna O'Grady, Katelyn Breivik +1
Core collapse supernovae (CCSNe) impact many areas of astrophysics, including compact object formation and gravitational waves, but many uncertainties remain in our understanding o…
