Not just winds: why models find binary black hole formation is metallicity dependent, while binary neutron star formation is not
L. A. C. van Son, S. K. Roy, I. Mandel +6
Both detailed and rapid population studies alike predict that binary black hole (BHBH) formation is orders of magnitude more efficient at low metallicity than high metallicity, whi…
Streamlining and standardizing software citations with The Software Citation Station
Tom Wagg, Floor S. Broekgaarden, Phil R. Van-Lane
Software is crucial for the advancement of science, especially in the context of rapidly growing datasets that increasingly require algorithm and pipeline development to process da…
Investigating the Cosmological Rate of Compact Object Mergers from Isolated Massive Binary Stars
Adam Boesky, Floor S. Broekgaarden, Edo Berger
Gravitational wave detectors are observing compact object mergers from increasingly far distances, revealing the redshift evolution of the binary black hole (BBH) -- and soon the b…
The Binary Black Hole Merger Rate Deviates From the Cosmic Star Formation Rate: A Tug of War Between Metallicity and Delay Times
Adam Boesky, Floor S. Broekgaarden, Edo Berger
Gravitational-wave detectors are now making it possible to investigate how the merger rate of binary black holes (BBHs) evolves with redshift. In this study, we examine whether the…
Beyond the far side: Observing black hole mergers beyond the pair-instability mass gap with next-generation gravitational wave detectors
Gabriele Franciolini, Konstantinos Kritos, Luca Reali +2
Stellar evolution predicts the existence of a mass gap for black hole remnants produced by pair-instability supernova dynamics, whose lower and upper edges are very uncertain. We s…
