The effect of stellar rotation on black hole mass and spin
Sohan Ghodla, J. J. Eldridge
The gravitational wave signature of a binary black hole (BBH) merger is dependent on its component mass and spin. If such black holes originate from rapidly rotating progenitors, t…
Observational implications of cosmologically coupled black holes
Sohan Ghodla, Richard Easther, M. M. Briel +1
It was recently suggested that "cosmologically coupled" black holes with masses that increase in proportion to the volume of the Universe might constitute the physical basis of dar…
Sustained super-Eddington accretion around neutron stars & black holes
Sohan Ghodla, J. J. Eldridge
Recently, it was shown that the formation of a photon-trapping surface might not be sufficient to ensure unimpeded super-Eddington (SE) accretion. In light of this finding, here we…
Exploring the impact of IMF and binary parameter stochasticity with a binary population synthesis code
E. R. Stanway, J. J. Eldridge
Low mass star formation regions are unlikely to fully populate their initial mass functions, leading to a deficit of massive stars. In binary stellar populations, the full range of…
Searching for ejected supernova companions in the era of precise proper motion and radial velocity measurements
A. A. Chrimes, A. J. Levan, J. J. Eldridge +7
The majority of massive stars are born in binaries, and most unbind upon the first supernova. With precise proper motion surveys such as Gaia, it is possible to trace back the moti…
The IACOB project VIII. Searching for empirical signatures of binarity in fast-rotating O-type stars
N. Britavskiy, S. Simón-Díaz, G. Holgado +6
The empirical distribution of projected rotational velocities (vsini) in massive O-type stars is characterized by a dominant slow velocity component and a tail of fast rotators. Bi…
Gravitational wave spectral synthesis
Wouter G. J. van Zeist, J. J. Eldridge, Petra N. Tang
We study the LISA sources that arise from isolated binary evolution, and how these depend on age and metallicity, using model stellar populations from BPASS. We model these as sing…
