Gravitational background from dynamical binaries and detectability with 2G detectors
Carole Périgois, Filippo Santoliquido, Yann Bouffanais +5
We study the impact of young clusters on the gravitational wave background from compact binary coalescence. We simulate a catalog of sources from population I/II isolated binary st…
Compact Object Mergers in Hierarchical Triples from Low-Mass Young Star Clusters
Alessandro Alberto Trani, Sara Rastello, Ugo N. Di Carlo +3
A binary star orbited by an outer companion constitutes a hierarchical triple system. The outer body may excite the eccentricity of the inner binary through the von~Zeipel-Lidov-Ko…
Dynamics of binary black holes in low-mass young star clusters
Sara Rastello, Michela Mapelli, Ugo N. di Carlo +5
Young star clusters are dynamically active stellar systems and are a common birthplace for massive stars. Low-mass star clusters ( M) are more numerous than…
Intermediate mass black holes from stellar mergers in young star clusters
Ugo N. Di Carlo, Michela Mapelli, Mario Pasquato +8
Intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) in the mass range bridge the gap between stellar black holes (BHs) and supermassive BHs. Here, we investigate…
GW190521 formation via three-body encounters in young massive star clusters
Marco Dall'Amico, Michela Mapelli, Ugo N. Di Carlo +5
GW190521 is the most massive binary black hole (BBH) merger observed to date, and its primary component lies in the pair-instability (PI) mass gap. Here, we investigate the formati…
The impact of binaries on the evolution of star clusters from turbulent molecular clouds
Stefano Torniamenti, Alessandro Ballone, Michela Mapelli +5
Most of massive stars form in binary or higher-order systems in clumpy, sub-structured clusters. In the very first phases of their life, these stars are expected to interact with t…
New insights on binary black hole formation channels after GWTC-2: young star clusters versus isolated binaries
Yann Bouffanais, Michela Mapelli, Filippo Santoliquido +5
With the recent release of the second gravitational-wave transient catalogue (GWTC-2), which introduced dozens of new detections, we are at a turning point of gravitational wave as…
