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…

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…
