The Galactic Black Hole mass distribution
L S. Rocha, N. Pires, L. M. de Sá +8
The population of extragalactic black holes has been significantly expanded and better understood since the first detection of gravitational waves. Over the past decade, approximat…
Compact object populations over cosmic time I. BOSSA: a Binary Object environment-Sensitive Sampling Algorithm
L. M. de Sá, A. Bernardo, L. S. Rocha +2
Binary population synthesis (BPS) is an essential tool for extracting information about massive binary evolution from gravitational-wave (GW) detections of compact object mergers.…
Compact object populations over cosmic time II. Compact object merger rates and masses over redshift from varying initial conditions
L. M. de Sá, L. S. Rocha, A. Bernardo +2
We perform a first study of the impact of varying two components of the initial conditions in binary population synthesis of compact binary mergers - the initial mass function, whi…
A light strange star in the remnant HESS J1731-347: minimal consistency checks
J. E. Horvath, L. S. Rocha, L. M. de Sá +5
Context: Recently, Doroshenko and collaborators reported a very low-mass compact star, a Central Compact Object named XMMU J173203.3-344518 inside the supernova remnant HESS J1731-…
Birth events, masses and the maximum mass of Compact Stars
Jorge E. Horvath, Lívia S. Rocha, Antônio L. C. Bernardo +2
We give in this Chapter an overview of the problem of neutron star mass distribution, the issue of the maximum mass as inferred from the existing sample and the new gravitational w…
Redback/Black Widow Systems as progenitors of the highest neutron star masses and low-mass Black Holes
J. E. Horvath, A. Bernardo, L. S. Rocha +3
We suggest in this note that "spider" systems are the naturally expected progenitors of the highest neutron star masses, and possibly low-mass black holes, based on their long-term…
