A first look at the protoplanet WISPIT 2 b with VLTI/GRAVITY+
GRAVITY+ Collaboration, K. Abd El Dayem, R. Abuter +116
Confirmed observations of young protoplanets actively undergoing the process of formation have remained rare to date. In this Letter, we present new insights into the nature of the…
An upper limit on Galactic OB+black hole binaries from SDSS-V
J. Müller-Horn, H. -W. Rix, S. Shahaf +14
Binaries composed of a luminous OB star and a black hole (BH) are a key evolutionary link between massive stellar binaries and merging compact-object binaries, but only a handful a…
Beyond what's observed: hierarchical inference of Gaia astrometric compact-object binaries
Natsuko Yamaguchi, Kareem El-Badry, Reed Essick +3
Astrometry from the Gaia mission has revealed a large and homogeneous population of binaries containing compact objects, including more than 3000 white dwarf--main sequence (WDMS)…
What You Don't Know Won't Hurt You: Self-Consistent Hierarchical Inference with Unknown Follow-up Selection Strategies
Reed Essick, Amanda M. Farah
Many astronomical surveys prompt follow-up observations, but the decision process through which candidates are selected for follow-up can be difficult to model. This poses a challe…
Wide Jets or Low Rates: Reconciling Short GRB and Gravitational-Wave Neutron Star Merger Rates
Keerthi Kunnumkai, Antonella Palmese, Brendan O'Connor +2
Gravitational wave (GW) and short Gamma Ray Burst (sGRB) observations provide us with complementary views of compact object mergers. The paucity of binary neutron star merger (BNS)…
The maximum mass ratio of hierarchical binary black hole mergers may cause the - correlation
Aditya Vijaykumar, Amanda M. Farah, Maya Fishbach
Regardless of their initial spins, the merger of two roughly equal mass black holes (BHs) produces a remnant BH of dimensionless spin . Such remnants can merge with other BHs…
The steep redshift evolution of the hierarchical binary black hole merger rate may cause the - correlation
Amanda M. Farah, Aditya Vijaykumar, Maya Fishbach
There is growing evidence from gravitational-wave observations that some merging black holes are created from previous mergers. Using the prediction that these hierarchically merge…
