Low-mass failed supernovae and the peak in the merging black hole mass distribution
Isaac Legred, Jacob Golomb, Katerina Chatziioannou
Gravitational-wave observations reveal that the rate of merging black holes drops by orders of magnitude from component masses to .…
Why Stellar Sequences Turn Over: Fixed Points, Instability, and Equation-of-State Universality
Isaac Legred, Nicolas Yunes
We reformulate the stellar structure equations in the language of dynamical systems and show that the maximum mass of stellar sequences arises from the existence of a fixed point i…
Inferring the neutron star equation of state with nuclear-physics informed semiparametric models
Sunny Ng, Isaac Legred, Lami Suleiman +3
Over the past decade, an abundance of information from neutron-star observations, nuclear experiments and theory has transformed our efforts to elucidate the properties of dense ma…
The interplay of astrophysics and nuclear physics in determining the properties of neutron stars
Jacob Golomb, Isaac Legred, Katerina Chatziioannou +1
Neutron star properties depend on both nuclear physics and astrophysical processes, and thus observations of neutron stars offer constraints on both large-scale astrophysics and th…
Nonlinear Alfvén-wave Dynamics and Premerger Emission from Crustal Oscillations in Neutron Star Mergers
Elias R. Most, Yoonsoo Kim, Katerina Chatziioannou +1
Neutron stars have solid crusts threaded by strong magnetic fields. Perturbations in the crust can excite non-radial oscillations, which can in turn launch Alfven waves into the ma…
Using Equation of State Constraints to Classify Low-Mass Compact Binary Mergers
Jacob Golomb, Isaac Legred, Katerina Chatziioannou +2
Compact objects observed via gravitational waves are classified as black holes or neutron stars primarily based on their inferred mass with respect to stellar evolution expectation…
