Compactness peaks: An astrophysical interpretation of the mass distribution of merging binary black holes
Shanika Galaudage, Astrid Lamberts
With the growing number of detections of binary black hole mergers, we are beginning to probe structure in the distribution of masses. A recent study by Schneider et al. proposes t…
Astrophysical Uncertainties in the Gravitational-Wave Background from Stellar-Mass Compact Binary Mergers
Leonard Lehoucq, Irina Dvorkin, Rahul Srinivasan +2
We investigate the Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background (SGWB) produced by merging binary black holes (BBHs) and binary neutron stars (BNSs) in the frequency ranges of LIGO/Vir…
Understanding the progenitor formation galaxies of merging binary black holes
Rahul Srinivasan, Astrid Lamberts, Marie Anne Bizouard +2
With nearly a hundred gravitational wave detections, the origin of black hole mergers has become a key question. Here, we focus on understanding the typical galactic environment in…
GW190412 as a Third-Generation Black Hole Merger from a Super Star Cluster
Carl L. Rodriguez, Kyle Kremer, Michael Y. Grudić +8
We explore the possibility that GW190412, a binary black hole merger with a non-equal-mass ratio and significantly spinning primary, was formed through repeated black hole mergers…
The growth of the longitudinal beam-plasma instability in the presence of an inhomogeneous background
Mohamad Shalaby, Avery E. Broderick, Philip Chang +3
We study the longitudinal stability of beam-plasma systems in the presence of a density inhomogeneity in the background plasma. Previous works have focused on the non-relativistic…
Predicting the LISA white dwarf binary population in the Milky Way with cosmological simulations
Astrid Lamberts, Sarah Blunt, Tyson Littenberg +3
Short-period (P<1 hour) white dwarf binaries will be the most numerous sources for the space-based gravitational wave detector LISA. Based on thousands of resolved systems, we will…
