The Contribution of Halo White Dwarf Binaries to the LISA Signal
Ashley J. Ruiter, Krzysztof Belczynski, Matthew Benacquista +1
Galactic double white dwarfs were postulated as a source of confusion limited noise for LISA, the future space-based gravitational wave observatory. Until very recently, the Galact…
The Nature of the Faint Chandra X-ray Sources in the Galactic Centre
A. J. Ruiter, K. Belczynski, T. E. Harrison
Recent Chandra observations have revealed a large population of faint X-ray point sources in the Galactic Centre. The observed population consists of about 2000 faint sources in th…
Contribution of Compact Mass Transferring Systems to the Galactic Gravitational Wave Background
Krzysztof Belczynski, Matthew Benacquista, Shane L. Larson +1
Compact object binaries, mostly double with dwarfs, are believed to be a potential source of confusion-limited noise for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). In a specifi…
New constraints on SN Ia progenitor models
Krzysztof Belczynski, Tomasz Bulik, Ashley J. Ruiter
We use the StarTrack population synthesis code to discuss potential progenitor models of SN Ia: single degenerate scenario, semi-detached double white dwarf binary and double degen…
