Impact of Massive Binary Star and Cosmic Evolution on Gravitational Wave Observations II: Double Compact Object Rates and Properties
Floor S. Broekgaarden, Edo Berger, Simon Stevenson +9
Making the most of the rapidly increasing population of gravitational-wave detections of black hole (BH) and neutron star (NS) mergers requires comparing observations with populati…
Gravitational wave sources in our Galactic backyard: Predictions for BHBH, BHNS and NSNS binaries detectable with LISA
Tom Wagg, Floor S. Broekgaarden, Selma E. de Mink +3
Future searches for gravitational waves from space will be sensitive to double compact objects (DCOs) in our Milky Way. We present new simulations of the populations of double blac…
Evidence from Disrupted Halo Dwarfs that -process Enrichment via Neutron Star Mergers is Delayed by Myrs
Rohan P. Naidu, Alexander P. Ji, Charlie Conroy +10
The astrophysical origins of -process elements remain elusive. Neutron star mergers (NSMs) and special classes of core-collapse supernovae (rCCSNe) are leading candidates. Due t…
The redshift evolution of the binary black hole merger rate: a weighty matter
L. A. C. van Son, S. E. de Mink, T. Callister +7
Gravitational wave detectors are starting to reveal the redshift evolution of the binary black hole (BBH) merger rate, . We make predictions for $R_{\mathrm{BB…
Formation of the First Two Black Hole-Neutron Star Mergers (GW200115 and GW200105) from Isolated Binary Evolution
Floor S. Broekgaarden, Edo Berger
In this work we study the formation of the first two black hole-neutron star (BHNS) mergers detected in gravitational waves (GW200115 and GW200105) from massive stars in wide isola…
Rapid stellar and binary population synthesis with COMPAS
Team COMPAS, :, Jeff Riley +23
Compact Object Mergers: Population Astrophysics and Statistics (COMPAS; https://compas.science) is a public rapid binary population synthesis code. COMPAS generates populations of…
Rates of Compact Object Coalescences
Ilya Mandel, Floor S. Broekgaarden
Gravitational-wave detections are enabling measurements of the rate of coalescences of binaries composed of two compact objects -- neutron stars and/or black holes. The coalescence…
Uncertainty Quantification of a Computer Model for Binary Black Hole Formation
Luyao Lin, Derek Bingham, Floor Broekgaarden +1
In this paper, a fast and parallelizable method based on Gaussian Processes (GPs) is introduced to emulate computer models that simulate the formation of binary black holes (BBHs)…
Population synthesis of accreting white dwarfs: Rates and evolutionary pathways of H and He novae
Alex J. Kemp, Amanda I. Karakas, Andrew R. Casey +5
Novae are some of the most commonly detected optical transients and have the potential to provide valuable information about binary evolution. Binary population synthesis codes hav…
Evidence for X-ray Emission in Excess to the Jet Afterglow Decay 3.5 yrs After the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW 170817: A New Emission Component
A. Hajela, R. Margutti, J. S. Bright +34
For the first years after the binary neutron star merger event GW 170817 the radio and X-ray radiation has been dominated by emission from a structured relativistic off-axi…
Impact of Massive Binary Star and Cosmic Evolution on Gravitational Wave Observations I: Black Hole-Neutron Star Mergers
Floor S. Broekgaarden, Edo Berger, Coenraad J. Neijssel +7
Mergers of black hole-neutron star (BHNS) binaries have now been observed by GW detectors with the recent announcement of GW200105 and GW200115. Such observations not only provide…
