Multiband gravitational wave observations of eccentric escaping binary black holes from globular clusters
Yuetong Zhao, Abbas Askar, Youjun Lu +7
Stellar-mass binary black holes (sBBHs) formed in globular clusters (GCs) are promising sources for multiband gravitational wave (GW) observations, particularly with low- and middl…
Simulations of Globular Cluster Evolution with Multiple Stellar Populations
Mirek Giersz, Abbas Askar, Arkadiusz Hypki +3
The formation of stars with light-element abundance variations in globular clusters and the subsequent dynamical evolution of these multiple populations remains an open question. O…
Self-lensing binaries in globular clusters -- predictions for ELT
Grzegorz Wiktorowicz, Matthew Middleton, Mirek Giersz +4
Self-lensing (SL) represents a powerful technique for detecting compact objects in binary systems through gravitational microlensing effects, when a compact companion transits in f…
Formation Channels of Gravitationally Resolvable Double White Dwarf Binaries Inside Globular Clusters
Lucas Hellström, Mirosław Giersz, Abbas Askar +6
Current gravitational wave detectors are sensitive to coalescing black holes and neutron stars. However, double white dwarfs (DWDs) have long been recognized as promising sources o…
Multiple stellar populations in MOCCA globular cluster models: Transient spatial over-concentration of pristine red giant stars driven by strong dynamical encounters
M. Giersz, A. Askar, A Hypki +3
Recent findings show that, in some Milky Way globular clusters (GCs), pristine red giant branch (RGB) stars are more centrally concentrated than enriched RGB stars. This contradict…
Ultraluminous X-ray sources in Globular Clusters
Grzegorz Wiktorowicz, Mirek Giersz, Abbas Askar +2
This paper investigates the formation, populations, and evolutionary paths of UltraLuminous X-ray Sources (ULXs) within Globular Clusters (GCs). ULXs, characterised by their extrem…
