The Evolution of Binary Fractions in Globular Clusters
N. Ivanova, K. Belczynski, J. M. Fregeau +1
We study the evolution of binary stars in globular clusters using a new Monte Carlo approach combining a population synthesis code (StarTrack), and a simple treatment of dynamical…

Mapping inspiral rates on population synthesis parameters
R. O'Shaughnessy, V. Kalogera, K. Belczynski
Formation rates of compact-object binaries are often derived from population synthesis calculations. However, such calculations depend sensitively on a relatively large number of m…

A Comprehensive Study of Young Black Hole Populations
Krzysztof Belczynski, Aleksander Sadowski, Frederic A. Rasio
We present theoretical models of black hole (BH) populations in young stellar environments, such as starbursts and young star clusters. Using a population synthesis approach we com…
