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…
