Constructing X-ray Spectral Models of Galaxies: Varying Contributions from X-ray Binary Populations with Host Galaxy Properties
Emerson Gehr, Bret D. Lehmer, Antara R. Basu-Zych +7
Recent work has shown that the emission from X-ray binary (XRB) populations in galaxies varies with stellar mass (), star formation rate (SFR), and metallicity (). Such…
Forming Double Neutron Stars using Detailed Binary Evolution Models with POSYDON: Comparison to the Galactic Systems
Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Simone S. Bavera +14
With over two dozen detections in the Milky Way, double neutron stars (DNSs) provide a unique window into massive binary evolution. We use the POSYDON binary population synthesis c…
POSYDON Version 2: Population Synthesis with Detailed Binary-Evolution Simulations across a Cosmological Range of Metallicities
Jeff J. Andrews, Simone S. Bavera, Max Briel +21
Whether considering rare astrophysical events on cosmological scales or unresolved stellar populations, accurate models must account for the integrated contribution from the entire…
Mass-gap Black Holes in Coalescing Neutron Star Black Hole Binaries
Zepei Xing, Vicky Kalogera, Tassos Fragos +10
The existence of a mass gap of between the heaviest neutron stars (NSs) and the lightest black holes (BHs), inferred from the BH mass distribution in low mass X-ra…
A new long gamma-ray burst formation pathway at solar metallicity
M. M. Briel, T. Fragos, O. S. Salafia +11
Context. Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are generally observed in low-metallicity environments. However, 10 to 20 per cent of LGRBs at redshift are associated with near-solar…
Emulators for stellar profiles in binary population modeling
Elizabeth Teng, Ugur Demir, Zoheyr Doctor +14
Knowledge about the internal physical structure of stars is crucial to understanding their evolution. The novel binary population synthesis code POSYDON includes a module for inter…
