Investigating the formation channel of GW231123: Population III stars or hierarchical mergers?
Federico Angeloni, Konstantinos Kritos, Raffaella Schneider +5
The gravitational wave event GW231123, with component black hole masses lying within or above the pair-instability mass gap, poses a significant challenge to current stellar evolut…
Massive star clusters detected by JWST as natural birth places to form intermediate-mass black holes
Dominik R. G. Schleicher, MatÃas Liempi, Mirek Giersz +11
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected, through gravitational lensing, several young massive star clusters (YMCs), which are considered as relevant building blocks of h…
Uncovering the population of compact binary mergers and their formation pathways with gravitational waves through the Einstein Telescope
M. Arca-Sedda, I. Dvorkin, G. Franciolini +19
Ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) observatories have transformed our view of compact-object mergers, yet their reach still limits a comprehensive reconstruction of the processes…
The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
Effective supernova dust yields from rotating and non-rotating stellar progenitors
Koki Otaki, Raffaella Schneider, Luca Graziani +4
Supernovae (SNe) are believed to be the dominant sources of dust production at high redshift. However, the reverse shock generated by the interaction of the SN forward shock and th…
The initial mass-remnant mass relation for core collapse supernovae
C. Ugolini, M. Limongi, R. Schneider +3
The first direct detection of gravitational waves in 2015 marked the beginning of a new era for the study of compact objects. Upcoming detectors, such as the Einstein Telescope, ar…
