POSYDON Version 2: Population Synthesis with Detailed Binary-Evolution Simulations across a Cosmological Range of Metallicities
Jeff J. Andrews, Simone S. Bavera, Max Briel +21
Whether considering rare astrophysical events on cosmological scales or unresolved stellar populations, accurate models must account for the integrated contribution from the entire…
The role of natal kicks in forming asymmetric compact binary mergers
Madeline Oh, Maya Fishbach, Chase Kimball +2
In their most recent observing run, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration observed gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binary mergers with highly asymmetric mass ratios, incl…
On the Likely Dynamical Origin of GW191109 and of Binary Black Hole Mergers with Negative Effective Spin
Rachel C. Zhang, Giacomo Fragione, Chase Kimball +1
With the growing number of binary black hole (BBH) mergers detected by LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA, several systems have become difficult to explain via isolated binary evolution, having comp…
Direct Statistical Constraints on the Natal Kick velocity of a Black Hole in an X-ray Quiet Binary
Sharan Banagiri, Zoheyr Doctor, Vicky Kalogera +2
In recent years, a handful of ``dark" binaries have been discovered with a non-luminous compact object. Astrometry and radial velocity measurements of the bright companion allow us…
A Black Hole Kicked At Birth: MAXI J1305-704
Chase Kimball, Sam Imperato, Vicky Kalogera +12
When a compact object is formed in a binary, any mass lost during core collapse will impart a kick on the binary's center of mass. Asymmetries in this mass loss or neutrino emissio…
Limits on hierarchical black hole mergers from the most negative systems
Maya Fishbach, Chase Kimball, Vicky Kalogera
It has been proposed that some black holes (BHs) in binary black hole (BBH) systems are born from "hierarchical mergers" (HM); i.e. earlier mergers of smaller BHs. These HM product…
