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…
Growing Black Holes through Successive Mergers in Galactic Nuclei: I. Methods and First Results
Dany Atallah, Alessandro A. Trani, Kyle Kremer +4
We present a novel, few-body computational framework designed to shed light on the likelihood of forming intermediate-mass (IM) and supermassive (SM) black holes (BHs) in nuclear s…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: tools
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
Detector characterization and data quality studies -- collectively referred to as {\em DetChar} activities in this article -- are paramount to the scientific exploitation of the jo…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: results from the O3 run
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave (GW) signals in the past few years, alongside the two Adv…
Compact Binary Coalescences: Astrophysical Processes and Lessons Learned
Mario Spera, Alessandro Alberto Trani, Mattia Mencagli
On 11 February 2016, the LIGO and Virgo scientific collaborations announced the first direct detection of gravitational waves, a signal caught by the LIGO interferometers on 14 Sep…
Modeling gravitational few-body problems with TSUNAMI and OKINAMI
Alessandro Alberto Trani, Mario Spera
In recent years, an increasing amount of attention is being paid to the gravitational few-body problem and its applications to astrophysical scenarios. Among the main reasons for t…
