McFACTS II: Mass Ratio--Effective Spin Relationship of Black Hole Mergers in the AGN Channel
Harrison E. Cook, Barry McKernan, K. E. Saavik Ford +6
We use the Monte Carlo For AGN (active galactic nucleus) Channel Testing and Simulation (McFACTS, https://www.github.com/mcfacts/mcfacts) code to study the effect of AGN disk and n…
McFacts III: Compact binary mergers from AGN disks over an entire synthetic universe
Vera Delfavero, K. E. Saavik Ford, Barry McKernan +6
The Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) channel for the formation of binary black hole (BBH) mergers has been previously studied as a potential formation channel for the merging compact b…
McFACTS I: Testing the LVK AGN channel with Monte Carlo For AGN Channel Testing & Simulation (McFACTS)
Barry McKernan, K. E. Saavik Ford, Harrison E. Cook +6
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are a promising source of the binary black hole (BBH) mergers observed in gravitational waves with LIGO-Virgo-Kagra (LVK). Constraining the AGN channel…
Recovering Injected Astrophysics from the LISA Galactic Double White Dwarf Binaries
Vera Delfavero, Katelyn Breivik, Sarah Thiele +2
We present the successful recovery of common envelope ejection efficiency assumed in a simulated population of double white dwarf binaries like those which may be observed by the f…
