Spin-down changes in PSR B0540-69 induced by a drift of the magnetic axis
Lucas G. Barão, J. E. Horvath
The dynamics of the solid crust + magnetic field lines of pulsars is a much debated issue, and remains unsettled after 50 years. Some pieces of evidence have emerged to complete an…

Compact object populations over cosmic time I. BOSSA: a Binary Object environment-Sensitive Sampling Algorithm
L. M. de Sá, A. Bernardo, L. S. Rocha +2
Binary population synthesis (BPS) is an essential tool for extracting information about massive binary evolution from gravitational-wave (GW) detections of compact object mergers.…

Compact object populations over cosmic time II. Compact object merger rates and masses over redshift from varying initial conditions
L. M. de Sá, L. S. Rocha, A. Bernardo +2
We perform a first study of the impact of varying two components of the initial conditions in binary population synthesis of compact binary mergers - the initial mass function, whi…
