Charting the Galactic Underworld I: Comprehensive simulations of the kinematics, rates, and demographics of Milky Way black holes
Tom Wagg, Katelyn Breivik, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +3
With upcoming data from Roman, Gaia DR4, and spectroscopic surveys, we will soon have an unprecedented dataset of Milky Way black holes (BHs) to constrain their formation and evolu…
Twin Peaks: Resolving Features in the Binary Black Hole Mass Function with COSMIC-METISSE
Duncan B. Maclean, Poojan Agrawal, Katelyn Breivik +4
Gravitational waves from inspiraling binary black holes (BBHs) provide insights into the lives and deaths of massive stars. Population synthesis allows us to model these binaries t…
Unraveling the Origin of Unequal Mass Gravitational Wave Events: Insights from a Galactic High Mass X-ray Binary
Neev Shah, Mathieu Renzo, Koushik Sen +2
The catalog of Gravitational Wave (GW) events is rapidly growing, providing key insights into the evolution of massive binaries and compact object formation. However, a key challen…
Delayed and Displaced: The Impact of Binary Interactions on Core-collapse SN Feedback
Tom Wagg, Julianne J. Dalcanton, Mathieu Renzo +7
Core-collapse supernova feedback models in hydrodynamical simulations typically assume that all stars evolve as single stars. However, the majority of massive stars are formed in b…
Stellar ejection velocities from the binary supernova scenario: A comparison across population synthesis codes
Tom Wagg, David D. Hendriks, Mathieu Renzo +1
The vast majority of binary systems are disrupted at the moment of the first supernova, resulting in an unbound compact object and companion star. These ejected companion stars con…
cogsworth: A Gala of COSMIC proportions combining binary stellar evolution and galactic dynamics
Tom Wagg, Katelyn Breivik, Mathieu Renzo +1
We present cogsworth, an open-source Python tool for producing self-consistent population synthesis and galactic dynamics simulations. With cogsworth one can (1) sample a populatio…
Close Encounters of Wide Binaries Induced by the Galactic Tide: Implications for Stellar Mergers and Gravitational-Wave Sources
Jakob Stegmann, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Antti Rantala +6
A substantial fraction of stars can be found in wide binaries with projected separations between and . In the standard lore of binary physics, these would…
Constraints on neutrino natal kicks from black-hole binary VFTS 243
Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Reinhold Willcox, Irene Tamborra +8
The recently reported observation of VFTS 243 is the first example of a massive black-hole binary system with negligible binary interaction following black-hole formation. The blac…
