Uncovering the population of compact binary mergers and their formation pathways with gravitational waves through the Einstein Telescope
M. Arca-Sedda, I. Dvorkin, G. Franciolini +19
Ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) observatories have transformed our view of compact-object mergers, yet their reach still limits a comprehensive reconstruction of the processes…
Seeds to success: growing heavy black holes in dense star clusters
Lavinia Paiella, Manuel Arca Sedda, Benedetta Mestichelli +1
The observational dearth of black holes (BHs) with masses between 100 and 100,000 raises questions about the nature of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs). Propos…
Assembling GW231123 in star clusters through the combination of stellar binary evolution and hierarchical mergers
Lavinia Paiella, Cristiano Ugolini, Mario Spera +2
GW231123 is the most massive binary black hole (BBH) merger detected to date by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration. With at least one black hole (BH) in the upper-mass gap and both…
Comparing astrophysical models to gravitational-wave data in the observable space
Alexandre Toubiana, Davide Gerosa, Matthew Mould +9
Comparing population-synthesis models to the results of hierarchical Bayesian inference in gravitational-wave astronomy requires a careful understanding of the domain of validity o…
Black Hole - Neutron Star and Binary Neutron Star Mergers from Population III and II stars
Benedetta Mestichelli, Michela Mapelli, Filippo Santoliquido +9
Population III (Pop.III) stars are expected to be massive and to undergo minimal mass loss due to their lack of metals, making them ideal progenitors of black holes and neutron…
