Close Encounters of Wide Binaries Induced by the Galactic Tide: Implications for Stellar Mergers and Gravitational-Wave Sources

Jakob Stegmann, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Antti Rantala +6

A substantial fraction of stars can be found in wide binaries with projected separations between and . In the standard lore of binary physics, these would…

LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's Oldest Black Holes: Probing star formation at cosmic noon with GWTC-3

Maya Fishbach, Lieke van Son

In their third observing run, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA gravitational-wave (GW) observatory was sensitive to binary black hole (BBH) mergers out to redshifts .…

The locations of features in the mass distribution of merging binary black holes are robust against uncertainties in the metallicity-dependent cosmic star formation history

L. A. C. van Son, S. E. de Mink, M. Chruslinska +3

New observational facilities are probing astrophysical transients such as stellar explosions and gravitational wave (GW) sources at ever increasing redshifts, while also revealing…

Evidence from Disrupted Halo Dwarfs that -process Enrichment via Neutron Star Mergers is Delayed by Myrs

Rohan P. Naidu, Alexander P. Ji, Charlie Conroy +10

The astrophysical origins of -process elements remain elusive. Neutron star mergers (NSMs) and special classes of core-collapse supernovae (rCCSNe) are leading candidates. Due t…
