Modern tidal interaction models for rapid binary population synthesis: II. Binary black hole formation, mergers, and spins
Veome Kapil, Ilya Mandel, Jeff Riley +3
We present predictions for the merger rates and effective spin () distribution of binary black holes (BBHs) from isolated binary evolution, using a new self-consistent…
Electromagnetic, gravitational wave, and static gravitational transmission through throat spacetimes: a constraint-wave asymmetry
Jeff Riley
We compute the transmission properties of electromagnetic (EM), gravitational wave (GW), and static gravitational perturbations through geometric throats in spherically symmetric s…
Modern tidal interaction models for rapid binary population synthesis: I. Methods
Veome Kapil, Ilya Mandel, Evgeni Grishin +3
In this work, we present an updated prescription of contemporary tidal dissipation theory adapted for rapid binary population synthesis. Our simplified expressions encode the depen…
Rapid stellar and binary population synthesis with COMPAS: methods paper II
Ilya Mandel, Jeff Riley, Adam Boesky +13
The COMPAS public rapid binary population synthesis code has undergone a number of key improvements since the original COMPAS methods paper (Team COMPAS: Riley et al., 2022) was pu…
Implications of modern mass-loss rates for massive stars
JD Merritt, Simon Stevenson, Andreas Sander +7
Massive stars lose a significant fraction of their mass through stellar winds at various stages of their lives, including on the main sequence, during the red supergiant phase, and…
A Trifecta of Modelling Tools: A Bayesian Binary Black Hole Model Selection combining Population Synthesis and Galaxy Formation Models
Liana Rauf, Cullan Howlett, Simon Stevenson +2
Gravitational waves (GWs) have revealed surprising properties of binary black hole (BBH) populations, but there is still mystery surrounding how these compact objects evolve. We ap…
Surrogate forward models for population inference on compact binary mergers
Jeff Riley, Ilya Mandel
Rapidly growing catalogs of compact binary mergers from advanced gravitational-wave detectors allow us to explore the astrophysics of massive stellar binaries. Merger observations…
Rapid stellar and binary population synthesis with COMPAS
Team COMPAS, :, Jeff Riley +23
Compact Object Mergers: Population Astrophysics and Statistics (COMPAS; https://compas.science) is a public rapid binary population synthesis code. COMPAS generates populations of…
Massive Stellar Triples Leading to Sequential Binary Black-Hole Mergers in the Field
Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Silvia Toonen, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +3
Stellar triples with massive stellar components are common, and can lead to sequential binary black-hole mergers. Here, we outline the evolution towards these sequential mergers, a…
Chemically Homogeneous Evolution: A rapid population synthesis approach
Jeff Riley, Ilya Mandel, Pablo Marchant +5
We explore chemically homogeneous evolution (CHE) as a formation channel for massive merging binary black holes (BBHs). We develop methods to include CHE in a rapid binary populati…
Binary population synthesis with probabilistic remnant mass and kick prescriptions
Ilya Mandel, Bernhard Mueller, Jeff Riley +3
We report on the impact of a probabilistic prescription for compact remnant masses and kicks on massive binary population synthesis. We find that this prescription populates the pu…
Neutron Star Extreme Matter Observatory: A kilohertz-band gravitational-wave detector in the global network
K. Ackley, V. B. Adya, P. Agrawal +160
Gravitational waves from coalescing neutron stars encode information about nuclear matter at extreme densities, inaccessible by laboratory experiments. The late inspiral is influen…
