Detecting Double Neutron Stars with LISA
Mike Y. M. Lau, Ilya Mandel, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez +3
We estimate the properties of the double neutron star (DNS) population that will be observable by the planned space-based interferometer LISA. By following the gravitational radiat…
The effect of the metallicity-specific star formation history on double compact object mergers
Coenraad J. Neijssel, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Simon Stevenson +7
We investigate the impact of uncertainty in the metallicity-specific star formation rate over cosmic time on predictions of the rates and masses of double compact object mergers ob…
The origin of spin in binary black holes: Predicting the distributions of the main observables of Advanced LIGO
Simone S. Bavera, Tassos Fragos, Ying Qin +7
We study the formation of coalescing binary black holes via the evolution of isolated field binaries that go through the common envelope phase in order to obtain the combined distr…
STROOPWAFEL: Simulating rare outcomes from astrophysical populations, with application to gravitational-wave sources
Floor S. Broekgaarden, Stephen Justham, Selma E. de Mink +6
Gravitational-wave observations of double compact object (DCO) mergers are providing new insights into the physics of massive stars and the evolution of binary systems. Making the…
The impact of pair-instability mass loss on the binary black hole mass distribution
Simon Stevenson, Matthew Sampson, Jade Powell +4
A population of binary black hole mergers has now been observed in gravitational waves by Advanced LIGO and Virgo. The masses of these black holes appear to show evidence for a pil…
