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…
Modeling Dense Star Clusters in the Milky Way and Beyond with the Cluster Catalog
Kyle Kremer, Claire S. Ye, Nicholas Z. Rui +6
We present a set of 148 independent -body simulations of globular clusters (GCs) computed using the code (). At an age of $\sim10-13…
Mass and star formation rate of the host galaxies of compact binary mergers across cosmic time
M. Celeste Artale, Michela Mapelli, Yann Bouffanais +3
We investigate the properties of the host galaxies of compact binary mergers across cosmic time, by means of population-synthesis simulations combined with galaxy catalogues from t…
Evidence of non-luminous matter in the center of M62
Federico Abbate, Andrea Possenti, Monica Colpi +1
Theoretical models suggest that intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) may form and reside in the centers of globular clusters. IMBHs are still elusive to observations, but the acce…
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 collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda and the fate of their Supermassive Black Holes
Riccardo Schiavi, Roberto Capuzzo Dolcetta, Manuel Arca Sedda +1
Our Galaxy and the nearby Andromeda Galaxy (M31) form a bound system, even though the relative velocity vector of M31 is currently not well constrained. Their orbital motion is hig…
