Evidence of the pair instability gap from black hole masses

Hui Tong, Maya Fishbach, Eric Thrane +13

Stellar theory predicts a forbidden range of black-hole masses between -- due to pair-instability supernovae, but evidence for such a gap in the mass distri…

Mapping Parameter Correlations in Spinning Binary Black Hole Mergers

Karen Kang, Simona J. Miller, Katerina Chatziioannou +1

The spins of binary black holes measured with gravitational waves provide insights about the formation, evolution, and dynamics of these systems. However, interpreting these measur…

Gravitational waves carry information beyond effective spin parameters but it is hard to extract

Simona J. Miller, Zoe Ko, Thomas A. Callister +1

Gravitational wave observations of binary black hole mergers probe their astrophysical origins via the binary spin, namely the spin magnitudes and directions of each component blac…

No evidence that the majority of black holes in binaries have zero spin

Thomas A. Callister, Simona J. Miller, Katerina Chatziioannou +1

The spin properties of merging black holes observed with gravitational waves can offer novel information about the origin of these systems. The magnitude and orientations of black…

The Low Effective Spin of Binary Black Holes and Implications for Individual Gravitational-Wave Events

Simona Miller, Thomas A. Callister, Will Farr

While the Advanced LIGO and Virgo gravitational-wave experiments now regularly observe binary black hole mergers, the evolutionary origin of these events remains a mystery. Analysi…
