The Kick Velocities of Neutron Stars in Binary Systems
Paul Disberg, Ilya Mandel, Ryosuke Hirai
Neutron stars (NSs) receive natal kicks on their formation in supernovae (SNe). We consider constraints placed on the natal kick magnitudes by NSs in different classes of binary sy…
Scientific understanding across disciplines: in varietate concordia?
Henk W. de Regt, Milo D. Cornelissen, Vincent Coumans +7
Understanding is a generally acknowledged aim of science, but the way in which understanding is pursued and criteria for when it is achieved differ widely across scientific discipl…
On Bimodality in the Eccentricity Distribution of Galactic Double Neutron Stars
Aldana Grichener, Paul Disberg, Ryosuke Hirai +1
The detection of Galactic double neutron stars (DNSs) through pulsar timing offers a unique opportunity to probe massive stellar and binary evolution. The observed DNS population e…
Reconciling the Systemic Kicks of Observed Millisecond Pulsars, Spider Pulsars, and Low-mass X-ray Binaries
Paul Disberg, Arash Bahramian, Ilya Mandel
Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) have been proposed as evolutionary products of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) through a stage in which they are spider pulsars (i.e., redbacks and black…
The maximum offsets of binary neutron star mergers from host galaxies
Ilya Mandel, Om Sharan Salafia, Andrew Levan +1
We analytically derive, and illustrate with a population synthesis model, the maximum offset of binary neutron star mergers ejected from their host galaxies. This approximate maxim…
The metallicity dependence of long-duration gamma-ray bursts
Paul Disberg, Anne Lankreijer, Martyna Chruślińska +5
Both theoretical models and observations of collapsar created gamma-ray bursts -- typically long-duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) -- suggest that these transients cannot occur at…
Imagination and Understanding through Astrophysical Imagery
Paul H. W. Disberg
Scientific articles, for instance in the field of astrophysics, are often filled with a variety of images. In philosophical studies, these images are usually analyzed in terms of t…
The Kick Velocity Distribution of Isolated Neutron Stars
Paul Disberg, Ilya Mandel
Neutron stars (NSs) are thought to receive natal kicks at their formation in supernovae. In order to investigate the magnitude of these kicks, we analyze the proper motions and dis…
A kinematically constrained kick distribution for isolated neutron stars
Paul Disberg, Nicola Gaspari, Andrew J. Levan
The magnitudes of the velocity kicks that neutron stars (NSs) obtain at their formation have long been a topic of discussion. In previous work, a novel method was proposed to deter…
Kinematic constraints on the ages and kick velocities of Galactic neutron star binaries
Paul Disberg, Nicola Gaspari, Andrew J. Levan
The systems creating binary neutron stars (BNSs) experience systemic kicks when one of the components goes supernova. The combined magnitude of these kicks is still a topic of deba…
Deceleration of kicked objects due to the Galactic potential
Paul Disberg, Nicola Gaspari, Andrew J. Levan
Various stellar objects experience a velocity kick at some point in their evolution. These include neutron stars and black holes at their birth or binary systems when one of the tw…
Failed supernovae as a natural explanation for the binary black hole mass distribution
Paul Disberg, Gijs Nelemans
The more gravitational wave sources are detected, the better the mass distribution of binary black holes (BBHs) becomes known. This stellar graveyard shows several features, includ…
