The implications of high BH spins on the origin of BH-BH mergers

Aleksandra Olejak, Krzysztof Belczynski

The LIGO/Virgo collaboration has reported 50 black hole-black hole (BH-BH) mergers and 8 candidates recovered from digging deeper into the detectors noise. The majority of these me…

The impact of common envelope development criteria on the formation of LIGO/Virgo sources

Aleksandra Olejak, Krzysztof Belczynski, Natalia Ivanova

The treatment and criteria for development of unstable Roche lobe overflow (RLOF) that leads to the common envelope (CE) phase have hindered the evolutionary predictions for decade…

The Origin of inequality: isolated formation of a 30+10Msun binary black-hole merger

A. Olejak, M. Fishbach, K. Belczynski +4

The LIGO/Virgo collaboration has reported the detection of GW190412, a BH-BH merger with the most unequal masses to date: 24.4-34.7 Msun and 7.4-10.1 Msun (a mass ratio of q=0.21-0…

Binary neutron star formation and the origin of GW170817

K. Belczynski, T. Bulik, A. Olejak +11

The first neutron star-neutron star merger was detected in by LIGO/Virgo in a galaxy in which the majority of star formation was taking place a long time ago (11 Gyr). LIGO/Virgo e…
