Impact of natal kicks on merger rates and spin-orbit misalignments of black hole -- neutron star mergers

Giacomo Fragione, Abraham Loeb, Frederic A. Rasio

The long wait for the detection of merging black hole -- neutron star (BH--NS) binaries is finally over with the announcement by the LIGO/Virgo/Kagra collaboration of GW200105 and…

White Dwarf Subsystems in Core-Collapsed Globular Clusters

Kyle Kremer, Nicholas Z. Rui, Newlin C. Weatherford +5

Numerical and observational evidence suggests that massive white dwarfs dominate the innermost regions of core-collapsed globular clusters by both number and total mass. Using NGC…

Constraining neutron star radii in black hole-neutron star mergers from their electromagnetic counterparts

Giacomo Fragione, Abraham Loeb

Mergers of black hole (BH) and neutron star (NS) binaries are of interest since the emission of gravitational waves (GWs) can be followed by an electromagnetic (EM) counterpart, wh…

Binary black hole mergers from young massive and open clusters: comparison to GWTC-2 gravitational wave data

Giacomo Fragione, Sambaran Banerjee

Several astrophysical scenarios have been proposed to explain the origin of the population of binary black hole (BBH) mergers detected in gravitational waves (GWs) by the LIGO/Virg…

First and second-generation black hole and neutron star mergers in 2+2 quadruples: population statistics

Adrian S. Hamers, Giacomo Fragione, Patrick Neunteufel +1

Recent detections of gravitational waves from mergers of neutron stars (NSs) and black holes (BHs) in the low and high-end mass gap regimes pose a puzzle to standard stellar and bi…

The Observed Rate of Binary Black Hole Mergers can be Entirely Explained by Globular Clusters

Carl L. Rodriguez, Kyle Kremer, Sourav Chatterjee +5

Since the first signal in 2015, the gravitational-wave detections of merging binary black holes (BBHs) by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations (LVC) have completely transformed our un…
