On Bimodality in the Eccentricity Distribution of Galactic Double Neutron Stars
Aldana Grichener, Paul Disberg, Ryosuke Hirai +1
The detection of Galactic double neutron stars (DNSs) through pulsar timing offers a unique opportunity to probe massive stellar and binary evolution. The observed DNS population e…
Gamma-ray burst progenitors revisited
Andrew J. Levan, Jillian C. Rastinejad, Helena-Margaret S. Grabham +11
The paper examines nearby long-duration gamma-ray bursts that lack supernova signatures, finding that many may originate from compact object mergers rather than massive stars, and…
Reconciling the Systemic Kicks of Observed Millisecond Pulsars, Spider Pulsars, and Low-mass X-ray Binaries
Paul Disberg, Arash Bahramian, Ilya Mandel
Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) have been proposed as evolutionary products of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) through a stage in which they are spider pulsars (i.e., redbacks and black…
The maximum offsets of binary neutron star mergers from host galaxies
Ilya Mandel, Om Sharan Salafia, Andrew Levan +1
We analytically derive, and illustrate with a population synthesis model, the maximum offset of binary neutron star mergers ejected from their host galaxies. This approximate maxim…
Natal kicks of compact objects
Sergei Popov, Bernhard Müller, Ilya Mandel
When compact objects - neutron stars and black holes - are formed in a supernova explosion, they may receive a high velocity at formation, which may reach or even exceed 1000 km s-…
The metallicity dependence of long-duration gamma-ray bursts
Paul Disberg, Anne Lankreijer, Martyna ChruÅliÅska +5
Both theoretical models and observations of collapsar created gamma-ray bursts -- typically long-duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) -- suggest that these transients cannot occur at…
