Compact Binary Merger Rates: Comparison with LIGO/Virgo Upper Limits
Krzysztof Belczynski, Serena Repetto, Daniel E. Holz +5
We compare evolutionary predictions of double compact object merger rate densities with initial and forthcoming LIGO/Virgo upper limits. We find that: (i) Due to the cosmological r…
Distinguishing types of compact-object binaries using the gravitational-wave signatures of their mergers
Ilya Mandel, Carl-Johan Haster, Michal Dominik +1
We analyze the distinguishability of populations of coalescing binary neutron stars, neutron-star black-hole binaries, and binary black holes, whose gravitational-wave signatures a…
Instrumentation for comparing night sky quality and atmospheric conditions of CTA site candidates
Christian Fruck, Markus Gaug, Jean-Pierre Ernenwein +14
Many atmospheric and climatic criteria have to be taken into account for the selection of a suitable site for the next generation of imaging air-shower Cherenkov telescopes, the "C…
Double Compact Objects II: Cosmological Merger Rates
Michal Dominik, Krzysztof Belczynski, Christopher Fryer +5
The development of advanced gravitational wave (GW) observatories, such as Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo, provides impetus to refine theoretical predictions for what these instr…
Comparison of LIGO/Virgo upper limits with predicted compact binary merger rates
Krzysztof Belczynski, Michal Dominik, Serena Repetto +2
We compare the current LIGO/Virgo upper limits on double compact object volumetric merger rates with our theoretical predictions. Our optimistic models are a factor of 3 below the…
Effect of metallicity on the gravitational-wave signal from the cosmological population of compact binary coalescences
I. Kowalska-Leszczynska, T. Regimbau, T. Bulik +2
Recent studies on stellar evolution have shown that the properties of compact objects strongly depend on the metallicity of the environment in which they were formed. Using some ve…
