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-consisten…

Rapid stellar and binary population synthesis with COMPAS: methods paper II
Ilya Mandel, Jeff Riley, Adam Boesky +13
The COMPAS public rapid binary population synthesis code has undergone a number of key improvements since the original COMPAS methods paper (Team COMPAS: Riley et al., 2022) was pu…
