Isolated and dynamical black hole mergers with \texttt{B-POP}: the role of star formation and dynamics, star cluster evolution, natal kicks, mass and spins, and hierarchical mergers
Manuel Arca Sedda, Michela Mapelli, Matthew Benacquista +1
The current interpretation of LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA data suggests that the primary mass function of merging binary black holes (BBHs) at redshift contains multiple struc…
Fingerprints of binary black hole formation channels encoded in the mass and spin of merger remnants
Manuel Arca Sedda, Michela Mapelli, Mario Spera +2
Binary black holes (BBHs) are thought to form in different environments, including the galactic field and (globular, nuclear, young and open) star clusters. Here, we propose a meth…
Using final black hole spins and masses to infer the formation history of the observed population of gravitational wave sources
Manuel Arca Sedda, Matthew Benacquista
In this paper we propose a novel technique to constrain the progenitor binary black hole (BBH) formation history using the remnant masses and spins of merged black holes (BHs). Exp…
The origin of the first neutron star -- neutron star merger
K. Belczynski, A. Askar, M. Arca-Sedda +8
The first neutron star-neutron star (NS-NS) merger was discovered on August 17, 2017 through gravitational waves (GW170817) and followed with electromagnetic observations. This mer…
Double neutron stars: merger rates revisited
Martyna Chruslinska, Krzysztof Belczynski, Jakub Klencki +1
We revisit double neutron star (DNS) formation in the classical binary evolution scenario in light of the recent LIGO/Virgo DNS detection (GW170817). The observationally estimated…
GW150914: First search for the electromagnetic counterpart of a gravitational-wave event by the TOROS collaboration
Mario C. Díaz, Martín Beroiz, Tania Peñuela +31
We present the results of the optical follow-up conducted by the TOROS collaboration of the first gravitational-wave event GW150914. We conducted unfiltered CCD observations (0.35-…
