Stochastic gravitational-wave background as a tool to investigate multi-channel astrophysical and primordial black-hole mergers
Simone S. Bavera, Gabriele Franciolini, Giulia Cusin +3
The formation of merging binary black holes can occur through multiple astrophysical channels such as, e.g., isolated binary evolution and dynamical formation or, alternatively, ha…
Probing the progenitors of spinning binary black-hole mergers with long gamma-ray bursts
Simone S. Bavera, Tassos Fragos, Emmanouil Zapartas +15
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts are thought to be associated with the core-collapse of massive, rapidly spinning stars and the formation of black holes. However, efficient angular m…
Revisiting the explodability of single massive star progenitors of stripped-envelope supernovae
E. Zapartas, M. Renzo, T. Fragos +12
Stripped-envelope supernovae (Types IIb, Ib, and Ic) that show little or no hydrogen comprise roughly one-third of the observed explosions of massive stars. Their origin and the ev…
Approximations to the spin of close Black-hole-Wolf-Rayet binaries
Simone S. Bavera, Michael Zevin, Tassos Fragos
Population synthesis studies of binary black-hole mergers often lack robust black-hole spin estimates as they cannot accurately follow tidal spin-up during the late black-hole-Wolf…
