VLT/MUSE and ATCA observations of the host galaxy of the short GRB 080905A at z=0.122

A. M. Nicuesa Guelbenzu, S. Klose, P. Schady +4

Short-GRB progenitors could come in various flavors, depending on the nature of the merging compact stellar objects (including a stellar-mass black hole or not) or depending on the…

The Uncertain Future of Massive Binaries Obscures the Origin of LIGO/Virgo Sources

K. Belczynski, A. Romagnolo, A. Olejak +6

The LIGO/Virgo gravitational--wave observatories have detected 50 BH-BH coalescences. This sample is large enough to have allowed several recent studies to draw conclusions about t…

Testing the presence of a dormant black hole inside HR 6819

A. Romagnolo, A. Olejak, A. Hypki +2

HR 6819 was recently reported to be a triple system with a dormant black hole (BH). The inner binary system was defined as a star estimated to be at the end of its main sequence an…

MOCCA-SURVEY Database I: Assessing GW kick retention fractions for BH-BH mergers in globular clusters

J. Morawski, M. Giersz, A. Askar +1

Anisotropy of gravitational wave (GW) emission results in a net momentum gained by the black hole (BH) merger product, leading to a recoil velocity up to $\sim10^3\text{ km s}^{-1}…

Constraining population synthesis models via the binary neutron star population

R. O'Shaughnessy, C. Kim, T. Frakgos +2

The observed sample of double neutron-star (NS-NS) binaries presents a challenge to population-synthesis models of compact object formation: the parameters entering into these mode…
