Do we understand the star formation history of the universe?
Sahil Hegde, Steven R. Furlanetto, Smadar Naoz
The evolving relationship between a galaxy's mass and star formation rate -- the so-called `star-forming main sequence' (MS) -- provides a critical benchmark for understanding star…
Discovery of an Inflated Hot Neptune and Its Formation from Jovian Mass Loss
Grant C. Weldon, Samuel W. Yee, Bradley M. S. Hansen +17
The production of Neptune-like planets with orbital periods of 3--6 days is challenging for conventional models of high-eccentricity migration. We present the discovery and charact…
Eccentric Stellar-mass Binary Black Holes: Population, Detectability, and Waveform Analysis in the LISA and LIGO Era
Zeyuan Xuan, Smadar Naoz, Kyle Kremer +3
Eccentric binary black holes (BBHs) formed through dynamical interactions can significantly contribute to gravitational wave (GW) detections. In this work, we present a simulated c…
Extracting Astrophysical Information of Highly-Eccentric Binaries in the Millihertz Gravitational Wave Band
Zeyuan Xuan, Smadar Naoz, Alvin K. Y. Li +6
Wide, highly eccentric () compact binaries can naturally arise as progenitors of gravitational wave (GW) mergers. These systems are expected to have a significant population…
Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background from Highly-Eccentric Stellar-Mass Binaries in the Milli-hertz Band
Zeyuan Xuan, Smadar Naoz, Bence Kocsis +1
Many gravitational wave (GW) sources are expected to have non-negligible eccentricity in the millihertz band. These highly eccentric compact object binaries may commonly serve as a…
Detecting Gravitational Wave Bursts From Stellar-Mass Binaries in the Milli-hertz Band
Zeyuan Xuan, Smadar Naoz, Bence Kocsis +1
The dynamical formation channels of gravitational wave (GW) sources typically involve a stage when the compact object binary source interacts with the environment, which may excite…
