The impact of stellar binaries and star cluster dynamics on pair-instability supernovae
Francesco Gabrielli, Cristiano Ugolini, Lavinia Paiella +12
Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are among the most luminous transients in the Universe. However, they have never been confidently observed. Solving this puzzle would have key i…

The more accurately the metal-dependent star formation rate is modeled, the larger the predicted excess of binary black hole mergers
Cecilia Sgalletta, Michela Mapelli, Lumen Boco +5
As the number of gravitational-wave detections grows, the merger rate of binary black holes (BBHs) can help us to constrain their formation, the properties of their progenitors, an…
