The impact of turbulent mixing on the galactic r-process enrichment by binary neutron star mergers
Irina Dvorkin, Frédéric Daigne, Stéphane Goriely +2
We study the enrichment of the interstellar medium with rapid neutron capture (r-process) elements produced in binary neutron star (BNS) mergers. We use a semi-analytic model to de…
Exploring stellar evolution with gravitational-wave observations
Irina Dvorkin, Jean-Philippe Uzan, Elisabeth Vangioni +1
Recent detections of gravitational waves from merging binary black holes opened new possibilities to study the evolution of massive stars and black hole formation. In particular, s…
A synthetic model of the gravitational wave background from evolving binary compact objects
Irina Dvorkin, Jean-Philippe Uzan, Elisabeth Vangioni +1
Modeling the stochastic gravitational wave background from various astrophysical sources is a key objective in view of upcoming observations with ground- and space-based gravitatio…
Metallicity-constrained merger rates of binary black holes and the stochastic gravitational wave background
Irina Dvorkin, Elisabeth Vangioni, Joseph Silk +2
The recent detection of the binary black hole merger GW150914 demonstrates the existence of black holes more massive than previously observed in X-ray binaries in our Galaxy. This…
Cosmic Neutron Star Merger Rate and Gravitational Waves constrained by the R Process Nucleosynthesis
E. Vangioni, S. Goriely, F. Daigne +2
The cosmic evolution of the neutron star merger (NSM) rate can be deduced from the observed cosmic star formation rate. This allows to estimate the rate expected in the horizon of…
