Black hole - neutron star mergers: The first mass gap and kilonovae
P. Drozda, K. Belczynski, R. O'Shaughnessy +2
Observations of X-ray binaries indicate a dearth of compact objects in the mass range from . The existence of this (first mass) gap has been used to discriminat…

The evolutionary roads leading to low effective spins, high black hole masses, and O1/O2 rates of LIGO/Virgo binary black holes
K. Belczynski, J. Klencki, C. E. Fields +31
All ten LIGO/Virgo binary black hole (BH-BH) coalescences reported from the O1/O2 runs have near zero effective spins. There are only three potential explanations of this fact. If…
