The more accurately the metal-dependent star formation rate is modeled, the larger the predicted excess of binary black hole mergers
Cecilia Sgalletta, Michela Mapelli, Lumen Boco +5
As the number of gravitational-wave detections grows, the merger rate of binary black holes (BBHs) can help us to constrain their formation, the properties of their progenitors, an…
Constraining the Initial-Mass Function via Stellar Transients
Francesco Gabrielli, Lumen Boco, Giancarlo Ghirlanda +4
The stellar initial-mass function (IMF) represents a fundamental quantity in astrophysics and cosmology, describing the mass distribution of stars from low to very-high masses. It…
The cosmic rate of Pair-Instability Supernovae
Francesco Gabrielli, Andrea Lapi, Lumen Boco +8
Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) have crucial implications for many astrophysical topics, including the search for very massive stars, the black hole mass spectrum, and galaxy c…
Semi-empirical Estimates of the Cosmic Planet Formation Rate
Andrea Lapi, Lumen Boco, Francesca Perrotta +1
We devise and exploit a data-driven, semi-empirical framework of galaxy formation and evolution, coupling it to recipes for planet formation from stellar and planetary science, to…
Unveiling the (in)consistencies among the galaxy stellar mass function, star formation histories, satellite abundances and intracluster light from a semi-empirical perspective
Hao Fu, Francesco Shankar, Mohammadreza Ayromlou +16
In a hierarchical, dark matter-dominated Universe, stellar mass functions (SMFs), galaxy merger rates, star formation histories (SFHs), satellite abundances, and intracluster light…
Constraining the Initial Mass function in the Epoch of Reionization from Astrophysical and Cosmological data
A. Lapi, G. Gandolfi, L. Boco +6
[abridged] We aim to constrain the stellar initial mass function (IMF) during the epoch of reionization. To this purpose, we build up a semi-empirical model for the reionization hi…
