The evolution of kicked stellar-mass black holes in star cluster environments II. Rotating star clusters
Jeremy J. Webb, Nathan W. C. Leigh, Roberto Serrano +5
In this paper, we continue our study on the evolution of black holes (BHs) that receive velocity kicks at the origin of their host star cluster potential. We now focus on BHs in ro…
Intermediate mass black holes in globular clusters: effects on jerks and jounces of millisecond pulsars
Federico Abbate, Mario Spera, Monica Colpi
Globular clusters may host intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) at their centres. Here we propose a new method for their identification using millisecond pulsars (MSPs) as probes.…
All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the second Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1186
We present the results of a search for short-duration gravitational-wave transients in the data from the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. We search for gra…
Host galaxies of merging compact objects: mass, star formation rate, metallicity and colours
M. Celeste Artale, Michela Mapelli, Nicola Giacobbo +4
Characterizing the properties of the host galaxies of merging compact objects provides essential clues to interpret current and future gravitational-wave detections. Here, we inves…
Hierarchical black hole triples in young star clusters: impact of Kozai-Lidov resonance on mergers
Thomas O. Kimpson, Mario Spera, Michela Mapelli +1
Mergers of compact object binaries are one of the most powerful sources of gravitational waves (GWs) in the frequency range of second-generation ground-based gravitational wave det…
Using Graphics Processing Units to solve the classical N-body problem in physics and astrophysics
Mario Spera
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) can speed up the numerical solution of various problems in astrophysics including the dynamical evolution of stellar systems; the performance gain…
