Statistical properties of habitable zones in stellar binary systems
Paolo Simonetti, Giovanni Vladilo, Laura Silva +1
Observations of exoplanets and protoplanetary disks show that binary stellar systems can host planets in stable orbits. Given the high binary fraction among stars, the contribution…
On the delay times of merging double neutron stars
Laura Greggio, Paolo Simonetti, Francesca Matteucci
The merging rate of double neutron stars (DNS) has a great impact on many astrophysical issues, including the interpretation of gravitational waves signals, of the short Gamma Ray…
Predicted rates of merging neutron stars in galaxies
Marta Molero, Paolo Simonetti, Francesca Matteucci +1
In this work, we compute rates of merging neutron stars (MNS) in galaxies of different morphological type, as well as the cosmic MNS rate in a unitary volume of the Universe adopti…
A new delay time distribution for merging neutron stars tested against Galactic and cosmic data
Paolo Simonetti, Francesca Matteucci, Laura Greggio +1
The merging of two neutron stars (MNS) is thought to be the source of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRB) and gravitational wave transients, as well as the main production site of r-proc…
Neutron Star Mergers Might not be the Only Source of r-Process Elements in the Milky Way
Benoit Côté, Marius Eichler, Almudena Arcones +8
Probing the origin of r-process elements in the universe represents a multi-disciplinary challenge. We review the observational evidence that probe the properties of r-process site…
