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…
Merger rate of black hole binaries from globular clusters: theoretical error bars and comparison to gravitational wave data from GWTC-2
Fabio Antonini, Mark Gieles
Black hole binaries formed dynamically in globular clusters are believed to be one of the main sources of gravitational waves in the Universe. Here, we use our new population synth…
Defeating stochasticity: coalescence timescales of massive black holes in galaxy mergers
Imran Nasim, Alessia Gualandris, Justin Read +3
The coalescence of massive black hole binaries (BHBs) in galactic mergers is the primary source of gravitational waves (GWs) at low frequencies. Current estimates of GW detection r…
