The formation of merging black holes at solar metallicity
Simone S. Bavera, Tassos Fragos, Emmanouil Zapartas +11
The maximum mass of black holes formed in isolated binaries is determined by stellar winds and the interactions between the binary components. We consider for the first time fully…
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…
Investigating the Lower Mass Gap with Low Mass X-ray Binary Population Synthesis
Jared C. Siegel, Ilia Kiato, Vicky Kalogera +14
Mass measurements from low-mass black hole X-ray binaries (LMXBs) and radio pulsars have been used to identify a gap between the most massive neutron stars (NSs) and the least mass…
X-ray luminosity function of high-mass X-ray binaries: Studying the signatures of different physical processes using detailed binary evolution calculations
Devina Misra, Konstantinos Kovlakas, Tassos Fragos +11
The ever-expanding observational sample of X-ray binaries (XRBs) makes them excellent laboratories for constraining binary evolution theory. Such constraints can be obtained by stu…
Active Learning for Computationally Efficient Distribution of Binary Evolution Simulations
Kyle Akira Rocha, Jeff J. Andrews, Christopher P. L. Berry +13
Binary stars undergo a variety of interactions and evolutionary phases, critical for predicting and explaining observed properties. Binary population synthesis with full stellar-st…
POSYDON: A General-Purpose Population Synthesis Code with Detailed Binary-Evolution Simulations
Tassos Fragos, Jeff J. Andrews, Simone S. Bavera +22
Most massive stars are members of a binary or a higher-order stellar systems, where the presence of a binary companion can decisively alter their evolution via binary interactions.…
