Investigating the Cosmological Rate of Compact Object Mergers from Isolated Massive Binary Stars
Adam Boesky, Floor S. Broekgaarden, Edo Berger
Gravitational wave detectors are observing compact object mergers from increasingly far distances, revealing the redshift evolution of the binary black hole (BBH) -- and soon the b…

The Binary Black Hole Merger Rate Deviates From the Cosmic Star Formation Rate: A Tug of War Between Metallicity and Delay Times
Adam Boesky, Floor S. Broekgaarden, Edo Berger
Gravitational-wave detectors are now making it possible to investigate how the merger rate of binary black holes (BBHs) evolves with redshift. In this study, we examine whether the…
