Investigating the Chemically Homogeneous Evolution Channel and its Role in the Formation of the Enigmatic Binary Black Hole Progenitor Candidate HD 5980
K. Sharpe, L. A. C. van Son, S. E. de Mink +3
Chemically homogeneous evolution (CHE) is a promising channel for forming massive binary black holes. The enigmatic, massive Wolf-Rayet (WR) binary HD 5980 A&B has been proposed to…

An upper limit on the spins of merging binary black holes formed through binary evolution
Pablo Marchant, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Ilya Mandel
As gravitational wave detectors improve, observations of black hole (BH) mergers will provide the joint distribution of their masses and spins. This will be a critical benchmark to…

Sensitivity of the lower-edge of the pair instability black hole mass gap to the treatment of time dependent convection
M. Renzo, R. J. Farmer, S. Justham +3
Gravitational-wave detections are now probing the black hole (BH) mass distribution, including the predicted pair-instability mass gap. These data require robust quantitative predi…
