Retention of Stellar-Mass Black Holes in Globular Clusters
Meagan Morscher, Stefan Umbreit, Will M. Farr +1
Globular clusters should be born with significant numbers of stellar-mass black holes (BHs). It has been thought for two decades that very few of these BHs could be retained throug…
Towards Synchronism Through Dynamic Tides in J0651: the "Antiresonance" Locking
Francesca Valsecchi, Will. M. Farr, Bart Willems +1
In recent years, the Extremely Low Mass White Dwarf (ELM WD) survey has quintupled the number of known close, detached double WD binaries (DWD). The tightest such DWD, SDSS J065133…
Modeling the Redshift Evolution of the Normal Galaxy X-ray Luminosity Function
M. Tremmel, T. Fragos, B. D. Lehmer +9
Emission from X-ray binaries (XRBs) is a major component of the total X-ray luminosity of normal galaxies, so X-ray studies of high redshift galaxies allow us to probe the formatio…
On the Formation of Hot Jupiters in Stellar Binaries
Smadar Naoz, Will M. Farr, Frederic A. Rasio
We study the production of Hot Jupiters (HJs) in stellar binaries. We show that the "eccentric Kozai-Lidov" (EKL) mechanism can play a key role in the dynamical evolution of a star…
Mass Measurements of Black Holes in X-Ray Transients: Is There a Mass Gap?
Laura Kreidberg, Charles D. Bailyn, Will M. Farr +1
We explore possible systematic errors in the mass measurements of stellar mass black holes. We find that significant errors can arise from the assumption of zero or constant emissi…
PSDF: Particle Stream Data Format for N-Body Simulations
Will M. Farr, Jeff Ames, Piet Hut +6
We present a data format for the output of general N-body simulations, allowing the presence of individual time steps. By specifying a standard, different N-body integrators and di…
