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…
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…
Double Compact Objects I: The Significance Of The Common Envelope On Merger Rates
Michal Dominik, Krzysztof Belczynski, Christopher Fryer +5
The last decade of observational and theoretical developments in stellar and binary evolution provides an opportunity to incorporate major improvements to the predictions from popu…
The coalescence rates of double black holes
Krzysztof Belczynski, Tomasz Bulik, Michal Dominik +1
We present the summary of the recent investigations of double black hole binaries in context of their formation and merger rates. In particular we discuss the spectrum of black hol…
