The more accurately the metal-dependent star formation rate is modeled, the larger the predicted excess of binary black hole mergers
Cecilia Sgalletta, Michela Mapelli, Lumen Boco +5
As the number of gravitational-wave detections grows, the merger rate of binary black holes (BBHs) can help us to constrain their formation, the properties of their progenitors, an…
Constraining the Initial-Mass Function via Stellar Transients
Francesco Gabrielli, Lumen Boco, Giancarlo Ghirlanda +4
The stellar initial-mass function (IMF) represents a fundamental quantity in astrophysics and cosmology, describing the mass distribution of stars from low to very-high masses. It…
The cosmic rate of Pair-Instability Supernovae
Francesco Gabrielli, Andrea Lapi, Lumen Boco +8
Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) have crucial implications for many astrophysical topics, including the search for very massive stars, the black hole mass spectrum, and galaxy c…
