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…
From cosmological simulations to binary black hole mergers: The impact of using analytical star formation history models on gravitational-wave source populations
Sasha Levina, Floor Broekgaarden, Lieke van Son +4
Observations of binary black hole (BBH) mergers provide a unique window into the lives of massive stars across cosmic time. Connecting redshift-dependent merger properties to massi…
Gravitational wave inference of star cluster properties from intermediate-mass black hole mergers
Konstantinos Kritos, Luca Reali, Ken K. Y. Ng +2
Next-generation ground-based gravitational wave observatories will observe mergers of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) out to high redshift. Such IMBHs can form through runawa…
Minimum gas mass accreted by spinning intermediate-mass black holes in stellar clusters
Konstantinos Kritos, Luca Reali, Davide Gerosa +1
The spin of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) growing through repeated black hole mergers in stellar clusters statistically asymptotes to zero. Putative observations of IMBHs w…
Supermassive black holes from runaway mergers and accretion in nuclear star clusters
Konstantinos Kritos, Emanuele Berti, Joseph Silk
Rapid formation of supermassive black holes occurs in dense nuclear star clusters that are initially gas-dominated. Stellar-mass black hole remnants of the most massive cluster sin…
Multi-messenger Astrophysics of Black Holes and Neutron Stars as Probed by Ground-based Gravitational Wave Detectors: From Present to Future
Alessandra Corsi, Lisa Barsotti, Emanuele Berti +12
The ground-based gravitational wave (GW) detectors LIGO and Virgo have enabled the birth of multi-messenger GW astronomy via the detection of GWs from merging stellar-mass black ho…
Beyond the far side: Observing black hole mergers beyond the pair-instability mass gap with next-generation gravitational wave detectors
Gabriele Franciolini, Konstantinos Kritos, Luca Reali +2
Stellar evolution predicts the existence of a mass gap for black hole remnants produced by pair-instability supernova dynamics, whose lower and upper edges are very uncertain. We s…
