Spectral Signatures of Population III and Envelope-stripped Stars in Galaxies at the Epoch of Reionization

Elizabeth Berzin, Amy Secunda, Renyue Cen +2

While most simulations of the epoch of reionization have focused on single-stellar populations in star-forming dwarf galaxies, products of binary evolution are expected to signific…

Evolution of Retrograde Orbiters in an AGN Disk

Amy Secunda, Betsy Hernandez, Jeremy Goodman +4

AGN disks have been proposed as promising locations for the mergers of stellar mass black hole binaries (BBHs). Much recent work has been done on this merger channel, but the major…

Delayed Photons from Binary Evolution Help Reionize the Universe

Amy Secunda, Renyue Cen, Taysun Kimm +2

High-resolution numerical simulations including feedback and aimed at calculating the escape fraction (fesc) of hydrogen-ionizing photons often assume stellar radiation based on si…

Orbital Migration of Interacting Stellar Mass Black Holes in Disks around Supermassive Black Holes II. Spins and Incoming Objects

Amy Secunda, Jillian Bellovary, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +6

The masses, rates, and spins of merging stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs) detected by aLIGO and Virgo provide challenges to traditional BBH formation and merger scenarios. An…

Orbital Migration of Interacting Stellar Mass Black Holes in Disks around Supermassive Black Holes

Amy Secunda, Jillian Bellovary, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +5

The merger rate of stellar-mass black hole binaries (sBHBs) inferred by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) suggests the need for an efficient s…
