The evolutionary roads leading to low effective spins, high black hole masses, and O1/O2 rates of LIGO/Virgo binary black holes
K. Belczynski, J. Klencki, C. E. Fields +31
All ten LIGO/Virgo binary black hole (BH-BH) coalescences reported from the O1/O2 runs have near zero effective spins. There are only three potential explanations of this fact. If…
The Gravitational Universe
The eLISA Consortium, :, P. Amaro Seoane +158
The last century has seen enormous progress in our understanding of the Universe. We know the life cycles of stars, the structure of galaxies, the remnants of the big bang, and hav…
SPACE: the SPectroscopic All-sky Cosmic Explorer
A. Cimatti, M. Robberto, C. M. Baugh +18
We describe the scientific motivations, the mission concept and the instrumentation of SPACE, a class-M mission proposed for concept study at the first call of the ESA Cosmic-Visio…
Early supersymmetric cold dark matter substructure
Juerg Diemand, Michael Kuhlen, Piero Madau
Earth-mass ``microhalos'' may be the first objects to virialize in the early universe. Their ability to survive the hierarchical clustering process as substructure in the larger ha…
The spin temperature and 21cm brightness of the intergalactic medium in the pre-reionization era
Michael Kuhlen, Piero Madau, Ryan Montgomery
We use numerical hydrodynamical simulations of early structure formation in a LCDM universe to investigate the spin temperature and 21cm brightness of the diffuse intergalactic med…
The distribution and cosmic evolution of massive black hole spins
Marta Volonteri, Piero Madau, Eliot Quataert +1
We study the expected distribution of massive black hole (MBH) spins and its evolution with cosmic time in the context of hierarchical galaxy formation theories. Our model uses Mon…
