StAGE: Stellar Archaeology-driven Galaxy Evolution II. Binary Black Hole Mergers in Quiescent Galaxies and their Star-forming Progenitors

Irene Iorio, Andrea Lapi, Lumen Boco +5

We apply StAGE, a data-driven galaxy-evolution framework based on stellar archaeology, to study binary black hole (BBH) mergers in quiescent galaxies (QGs) and their star-forming p…

Exploring the connection between Fast Radio Bursts and binary neutron star mergers

Barbara Patricelli, Maria Grazia Bernardini, Cecilia Sgalletta +1

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are highly energetic radio sources whose duration is of the order of milliseconds. The physical origin of these sources is still unknown. Many models sugge…

A binary black hole merger rate comparison within the same metallicity - star formation rate framework

Lumen Boco, Michele Bosi, Cecilia Sgalletta +2

Recent studies have suggested that binary population synthesis models, when coupled with observationally based, metallicity-dependent star formation rate density, overpredict the o…

Can current models predict the local black hole merger rate?

Lumen Boco, Michele Bosi, Cecilia Sgalletta +2

After four observational runs, the Ligo-Virgo-Kagra collaboration estimated a local binary black hole (BBH) merger rate density of $R_{0,\textrm{LVK}}\simeq 14-26\,\textrm{Gpc}^{-3…

The impact of envelope binding energies on the merger rate density of binary compact objects

Cecilia Sgalletta, Guglielmo Costa, Giuliano Iorio +8

The common envelope (CE) phase plays a key role in the formation of binary compact object systems. Its final outcome strongly depends on the envelope binding energy, but this quant…

Population synthesis of Be X-ray binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud: Angular momentum recycling and stable mass transfer

Víctor López Oller, Boyuan Liu, Michela Mapelli +5

Be X-ray binaries (BeXRBs) are key laboratories to constrain binary interaction processes such as mass transfer, angular-momentum transport, and natal kicks. The Small Magellanic C…
