Compact object populations over cosmic time I. BOSSA: a Binary Object environment-Sensitive Sampling Algorithm

L. M. de Sá, A. Bernardo, L. S. Rocha +2

Binary population synthesis (BPS) is an essential tool for extracting information about massive binary evolution from gravitational-wave (GW) detections of compact object mergers.…

Compact object populations over cosmic time II. Compact object merger rates and masses over redshift from varying initial conditions

L. M. de Sá, L. S. Rocha, A. Bernardo +2

We perform a first study of the impact of varying two components of the initial conditions in binary population synthesis of compact binary mergers - the initial mass function, whi…

An Overview of Compact Star Populations and Some of Its Open Problems

L. M. de Sá, A. Bernardo, R. R. A. Bachega +3

The study of compact object populations has come a long way since the determination of the mass of the Hulse-Taylor pulsar, and we now count on more than 150 known Galactic neutron…

Effects of a non-universal IMF and binary parameter correlations on compact binary mergers

L. M. de Sá, A. Bernardo, R. R. A. Bachega +2

Binary population synthesis provides a direct way of studying the effects of different choices of binary evolution models and initial parameter distributions on present-day binary…

Quantifying the evidence against a mass gap between black holes and neutron stars

L. M. de Sá, A. Bernardo, R. R. A. Bachega +3

The lack of objects between and in the joint mass distribution of compact objects has been termed "mass gap", and attributed mainly to the characteris…
