Uncovering the Physical Origins of Black Holes in the Milky Way for Astronomical Surveys

Ilia Kiato, Pierson Lipschultz, Vicky Kalogera +5

The observational landscape of stellar-mass black holes (BHs) in the Milky Way is expanding beyond X-ray binaries, with Gaia DR4 and Roman expected to open new windows onto BH popu…

From the Milky Way to the Early Universe: How Metallicity Shapes the Formation of Double Neutron Stars

Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Monica Gallegos-Garcia +10

Among the compact binaries detected through gravitational wave (GW) emission, double neutron stars (DNSs) hold the unique distinction of having well-characterized local analogs in…

Metallicity dependence of Wolf-Rayet binaries using detailed binary models: An absence of long-period systems at low metallicity

Max M. Briel, Eirini Kasdagli, Tassos Fragos +6

Observations of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in binaries in the SMC and LMC suggest a preference for short period ( days) orbits, with an apparent absence of WRs in long-peri…

The Mass-Ratio Distribution of the Low-Mass Binary Black Hole Subpopulation: A Natural Outcome of Isolated Binary Evolution

Monica Gallegos-Garcia, Anarya Ray, Vicky Kalogera +7

The observed merging binary black hole population is increasingly consistent with being composed of a mixture of subpopulations, each likely the result of different formation mecha…

High-mass binary black hole mergers from detailed binary evolution models

Max M. Briel, Olcay Bıyıklı, Tassos Fragos +10

Gravitational-wave observations reveal a population of binary black hole (BBH) mergers with primary masses above , extending into and potentially beyond…

Double Neutron Star Delay Times Across Cosmic Metallicities: The Role of Helium Star Progenitors

Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Max Briel +5

Metallicity can play a significant role in massive binary evolution through its impact on the opacity within stellar interiors and wind-driven mass loss. In this work, we investiga…

A case for Case A: detailed look at binary black hole formation through stable mass transfer

Max M. Briel, Tassos Fragos, Monica Gallegos-Garcia +8

In isolated binary evolution, binary black hole (BBH) mergers are generally formed through stable mass transfer (SMT) or common envelope evolution. In recent years, the SMT channel…

Forming Double Neutron Stars using Detailed Binary Evolution Models with POSYDON: Comparison to the Galactic Systems

Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Simone S. Bavera +14

With over two dozen detections in the Milky Way, double neutron stars (DNSs) provide a unique window into massive binary evolution. We use the POSYDON binary population synthesis c…
