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…
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…
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…
