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 Uncertain Future of Massive Binaries Obscures the Origin of LIGO/Virgo Sources
K. Belczynski, A. Romagnolo, A. Olejak +6
The LIGO/Virgo gravitational--wave observatories have detected 50 BH-BH coalescences. This sample is large enough to have allowed several recent studies to draw conclusions about t…
Testing the presence of a dormant black hole inside HR 6819
A. Romagnolo, A. Olejak, A. Hypki +2
HR 6819 was recently reported to be a triple system with a dormant black hole (BH). The inner binary system was defined as a star estimated to be at the end of its main sequence an…
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…
