Modelling the formation of the first two neutron star-black hole mergers, GW200105 and GW200115: metallicity, chirp masses and merger remnant spins
Debatri Chattopadhyay, Simon Stevenson, Floor Broekgaarden +2
The two neutron star-black hole mergers (GW200105 and GW200115) observed in gravitational waves by advanced LIGO and Virgo, mark the first ever discovery of such binaries in nature…
Formation of counter-rotating and highly eccentric massive black hole binaries in galaxy mergers
Imran Nasim, Cristobal Petrovich, Adam Nasim +2
Supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries represent the main target for missions such as the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna and Pulsar Timing Arrays. The understanding of their d…
A supra-massive population of stellar-mass black holes in the globular cluster Palomar 5
Mark Gieles, Denis Erkal, Fabio Antonini +2
Palomar 5 is one of the sparsest star clusters in the Galactic halo and is best-known for its spectacular tidal tails, spanning over 20 degrees across the sky. With N-body simulati…
Flipping spins in mass transferring binaries and origin of spin-orbit misalignment in binary black holes
Jakob Stegmann, Fabio Antonini
Close stellar binaries are prone to undergo a phase of stable mass transfer in which a star loses mass to its companion. Assuming that the donor star loses mass along the instantan…
One Channel to Rule Them All? Constraining the Origins of Binary Black Holes using Multiple Formation Pathways
Michael Zevin, Simone S. Bavera, Christopher P. L. Berry +7
The second LIGO-Virgo catalog of gravitational wave transients has more than quadrupled the observational sample of binary black holes. We analyze this catalog using a suite of fiv…
Formation of the largest galactic cores through binary scouring and gravitational wave recoil
Imran Nasim, Alessia Gualandris, Justin I. Read +3
Massive elliptical galaxies are typically observed to have central cores in their projected radial light profiles. Such cores have long been thought to form through `binary scourin…
