Not all spins of black-hole binaries formed in clusters are isotropic and not all spins of black-hole binaries formed in isolation are aligned

Sofia Dossena, Davide Gerosa, Tristan Bruel

Spin directions are promising observables for distinguishing between the formation channels of merging stellar-mass binary black holes with gravitational-wave observations. In this…

Where did Heavy Binaries Go? Gravitational-wave Populations Using Delaunay Triangulation with Optimized Complexity

Rodrigo Tenorio, Alexandre Toubiana, Tristan Bruel +2

We investigate the joint mass-redshift evolution of the binary black-hole merger rate in the latest Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog, GWTC-4.0. We present and apply a novel non…

Gravitational-Wave Background from Extragalactic Double White Dwarfs for LISA

Guillaume Boileau, Tristan Bruel, Alexandre Toubiana +2

Recent studies have revealed the contribution of extragalactic DWD to the astrophysical SGWB could be detectable in the mHz regime by LISA. Conversely, the presence of this SGWB co…

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…

Great Balls of FIRE IV. The contribution of massive star clusters to the astrophysical population of merging binary black holes

Tristan Bruel, Astrid Lamberts, Carl L. Rodriguez +3

The detection of over a hundred gravitational wave signals from double compacts objects have confirmed the existence of such binaries with tight orbits. Two main formation channels…

Great Balls of FIRE III: Modeling Black Hole Mergers from Massive Star Clusters in Simulations of Galaxies

Tristan Bruel, Carl L. Rodriguez, Astrid Lamberts +3

After the nearly hundred gravitational-wave detections reported by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration, the question of the cosmological origin of merging binary black holes (BBHs)…

Understanding the progenitor formation galaxies of merging binary black holes

Rahul Srinivasan, Astrid Lamberts, Marie Anne Bizouard +2

With nearly a hundred gravitational wave detections, the origin of black hole mergers has become a key question. Here, we focus on understanding the typical galactic environment in…
