Empirical determination of the Galactic neutron star--black hole merger rate using StarTrack models
Terrence Pierre Jacques, D. R. Lorimer, Nihan Pol +2
The discovery of a pulsar in a binary system with a black hole would provide a unique laboratory for testing general relativity in the strong-field regime and offer vital constrain…
A supernova remnant associated with a nascent black hole low-mass X-ray binary
N. I. Maxted, A. J. Ruiter, K. Belczynski +2
Energy released when the core of a high-mass star collapses into a black hole often powers an explosion that creates a supernova remnant. Black holes have limited windows of observ…
Prospects for Detection of Extragalactic Stellar Black Hole Binaries in the Nearby Universe
Matthew Benacquista, Jesus Hinojosa, Alberto Mata +1
Stellar mass black hole binaries have individual masses between 10-80 solar masses. These systems may emit gravitational waves at frequencies detectable at Megaparsec distances by…
Stellar Mergers Are Common
C. S. Kochanek, Scott M. Adams, Krzysztof Belczynski
The observed Galactic rate of stellar mergers or the initiation of common envelope phases brighter than M_V=-3 (M_I=-4) is of order 0.5 (0.3)/year with 90% confidence statistical u…
On the brightness distribution of Type Ia supernovae from violent white dwarf mergers
A. J. Ruiter, S. A. Sim, R. Pakmor +8
We investigate the brightness distribution expected for thermonuclear explosions that might result from the ignition of a detonation during the violent merger of white dwarf (WD) b…
Type Ia Supernovae and Accretion Induced Collapse
A. J. Ruiter, K. Belczynski, S. A. Sim +3
Using the population synthesis binary evolution code StarTrack, we present theoretical rates and delay times of Type Ia supernovae arising from various formation channels. These ch…
