The lowest-mass stellar black holes: catastrophic death of neutron stars in gamma-ray bursts
K. Belczynski, R. O'Shaughnessy, V. Kalogera +3
Mergers of double neutron stars are considered the most likely progenitors for short gamma-ray bursts. Indeed such a merger can produce a black hole with a transient accreting toru…
Neutron Stars in Globular Clusters
Natalia Ivanova, Craig O. Heinke, Frederic A. Rasio
Dynamical interactions that occur between objects in dense stellar systems are particularly important for the question of formation of X-ray binaries. We present results of numeric…
Formation of Millisecond Pulsars in Globular Clusters
Natalia Ivanova, Craig O. Heinke, Frederic A. Rasio
In this contribution we discuss how neutron stars are produced and retained in globular clusters, outlining the most important dynamical channels and evolutionary events that affec…
Secular Evolution of Planetary Systems in Binaries
Genya Takeda, Ryosuke Kita, Frederic A. Rasio +1
The orbital eccentricity of a single planet around a component of a stellar binary system with a sufficiently large mutual inclination angle is known to oscillate on a secular time…
Effects of stellar collisions on star cluster evolution and core collapse
Sourav Chatterjee, John M. Fregeau, Frederic A. Rasio
We systematically study the effects of collisions on the overall dynamical evolution of dense star clusters using Monte Carlo simulations over many relaxation times. We derive many…
The Total Merger Rate of Compact Object Binaries In The Local Universe
Aleksander Sadowski, Krzysztof Belczynski, Tomasz Bulik +3
Using a population synthesis approach, we compute the total merger rate in the local Universe for double neutron stars, double black holes, and black hole -- neutron star binaries.…
