Compact object mergers: exploring uncertainties from stellar and binary evolution with SEVN
Giuliano Iorio, Michela Mapelli, Guglielmo Costa +9
Population-synthesis codes are an unique tool to explore the parameter space of massive binary star evolution and binary compact object (BCO) formation. Most population-synthesis c…
Binary black holes in the pair-instability mass gap
Ugo N. Di Carlo, Michela Mapelli, Yann Bouffanais +5
Pair instability (PI) and pulsational PI prevent the formation of black holes (BHs) with mass M from single star evolution. Here, we investigate the possibili…
Impact of the Rotation and Compactness of Progenitors on the Mass of Black Holes
Michela Mapelli, Mario Spera, Enrico Montanari +5
We investigate the impact of stellar rotation on the formation of black holes (BHs), by means of our population-synthesis code SEVN. Rotation affects the mass function of BHs in se…
The host galaxies of double compact objects merging in the local Universe
Michela Mapelli, Nicola Giacobbo, Mattia Toffano +4
We investigate the host galaxies of compact objects merging in the local Universe, by combining the results of binary population-synthesis simulations with the Illustris cosmologic…
Merging black hole binaries with the SEVN code
Mario Spera, Michela Mapelli, Nicola Giacobbo +3
Studying the formation and evolution of black hole binaries (BHBs) is essential for the interpretation of current and forthcoming gravitational wave (GW) detections. We investigate…
