The Contribution of Disrupted Dense Star Clusters to Gaia's Compact Object Binaries
Aryanna Schiebelbein-Zwack, Claire S. Ye, Marta Reina-Campos +3
We present the first model of the Milky Way's detectable compact object--luminous star binary population from disrupted dense star clusters. We bridge large-scale cosmological star…
Regression on Regression: Mapping Data-Driven Binary Black Hole Merger Rate Fits to Progenitor Histories
Emma Blanchet, Aryanna Schiebelbein-Zwack, Maya Fishbach
The binary black hole (BBH) merger rate is governed by the progenitor formation rate and the distribution of delay-times between formation and merger, but these functions remain po…
Forbidden Formation Histories: The Binary Black Hole Merger Rate Disfavors Long Delay Times
Aryanna Schiebelbein-Zwack, Maya Fishbach
The redshift evolution of the binary black hole (BBH) merger rate can be expressed as the convolution of the progenitor formation rate with the distribution of time delays between…
Surprisingly Similar: The Mass Function of Gaia Neutron Stars and First-Born Double Neutron Stars
Aryanna Schiebelbein-Zwack, L. A. C van Son, Maya Fishbach +1
The mass distribution of neutron stars encodes information about their formation and binary evolution. We compare the masses of two distinct populations: I) the recently identified…
