Rapid stellar and binary population synthesis with COMPAS
Team COMPAS, :, Jeff Riley +23
Compact Object Mergers: Population Astrophysics and Statistics (COMPAS; https://compas.science) is a public rapid binary population synthesis code. COMPAS generates populations of…
The effect of the metallicity-specific star formation history on double compact object mergers
Coenraad J. Neijssel, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Simon Stevenson +7
We investigate the impact of uncertainty in the metallicity-specific star formation rate over cosmic time on predictions of the rates and masses of double compact object mergers ob…
STROOPWAFEL: Simulating rare outcomes from astrophysical populations, with application to gravitational-wave sources
Floor S. Broekgaarden, Stephen Justham, Selma E. de Mink +6
Gravitational-wave observations of double compact object (DCO) mergers are providing new insights into the physics of massive stars and the evolution of binary systems. Making the…
On the formation history of Galactic double neutron stars
Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Coenraad J. Neijssel, Simon Stevenson +9
Double neutron stars (DNSs) have been observed as Galactic radio pulsars, and the recent discovery of gravitational waves from the DNS merger GW170817 adds to the known DNS populat…
Optimizing spectroscopic follow-up strategies for supernova photometric classification with active learning
E. E. O. Ishida, R. Beck, S. Gonzalez-Gaitan +10
We report a framework for spectroscopic follow-up design for optimizing supernova photometric classification. The strategy accounts for the unavoidable mismatch between spectroscop…
Accuracy of inference on the physics of binary evolution from gravitational-wave observations
Jim W. Barrett, Sebastian M. Gaebel, Coenraad J. Neijssel +5
The properties of the population of merging binary black holes encode some of the uncertain physics of the evolution of massive stars in binaries. The binary black hole merger rate…
Exploring the Parameter Space of Compact Binary Population Synthesis
Jim W. Barrett, Ilya Mandel, Coenraad J. Neijssel +2
As we enter the era of gravitational wave astronomy, we are beginning to collect observations which will enable us to explore aspects of astrophysics of massive stellar binaries wh…
Formation of the first three gravitational-wave observations through isolated binary evolution
Simon Stevenson, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Ilya Mandel +4
During its first 4 months of taking data, Advanced LIGO has detected gravitational waves from two binary black hole mergers, GW150914 and GW151226, along with the statistically les…
