MOCCA-Survey Database: Extra Galactic Globular Clusters. III. The population of black holes in Milky Way and Andromeda-like galaxies
A. Leveque, M. Giersz, A. Askar +2
In this work, we investigate the black hole (BH) population of globular clusters (GCs) in Milky Way- (MW) and Andromeda- (M31) like galaxies. We combine the population synthesis co…
The Effect of Supernova Convection On Neutron Star and Black Hole Masses
Chris L. Fryer, Aleksandra Olejak, Krzysztof Belczynski
Our understanding of the convective-engine paradigm driving core-collapse supernovae has been used for 2 decades to predict the remnant mass distribution from stellar collapse. The…
Black hole - black hole total merger mass and the origin of LIGO/Virgo sources
K. Belczynski, Z. Doctor, M. Zevin +3
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has reported nearly 100 BH-BH mergers. The LVK provides estimates of rates, masses, effective spins, and redshifts for these mergers. Yet,…
The role of supernova convection for the lower mass gap in the isolated binary formation of gravitational wave sources
Aleksandra Olejak, Chris L. Fryer, Krzysztof Belczynski +1
Understanding astrophysical phenomena involving compact objects requires an insight about the engine behind core-collapse supernovae (SNe) and the fate of the stellar collapse of m…
