Low-mass failed supernovae and the peak in the merging black hole mass distribution

Isaac Legred, Jacob Golomb, Katerina Chatziioannou

Gravitational-wave observations reveal that the rate of merging black holes drops by orders of magnitude from component masses to .…

The interplay of astrophysics and nuclear physics in determining the properties of neutron stars

Jacob Golomb, Isaac Legred, Katerina Chatziioannou +1

Neutron star properties depend on both nuclear physics and astrophysical processes, and thus observations of neutron stars offer constraints on both large-scale astrophysics and th…

Using Equation of State Constraints to Classify Low-Mass Compact Binary Mergers

Jacob Golomb, Isaac Legred, Katerina Chatziioannou +2

Compact objects observed via gravitational waves are classified as black holes or neutron stars primarily based on their inferred mass with respect to stellar evolution expectation…

Physical Models for the Astrophysical Population of Black Holes: Application to the Bump in the Mass Distribution of Gravitational Wave Sources

Jacob Golomb, Maximiliano Isi, Will Farr

Gravitational wave observations of binary black holes have revealed unexpected structure in the black hole mass distribution. Previous studies of the mass distribution employ physi…

Electromagnetic Emission from a Binary Black Hole Merger Remnant in Plasma: Field Alignment and Plasma Temperature

Bernard J. Kelly, Zachariah B. Etienne, Jacob Golomb +4

Comparable-mass black-hole mergers generically result in moderate to highly spinning holes, whose spacetime curvature will significantly affect nearby matter in observable ways. We…
