Profiling stellar environments of gravitational wave sources
Avinash Tiwari, Aditya Vijaykumar, Shasvath J. Kapadia +2
Gravitational waves (GWs) have enabled direct detections of compact binary coalescences (CBCs). However, their poor sky localisation and the typical lack of observable electromagne…
IMBH Progenitors from Stellar Collisions in Dense Star Clusters
Elena González Prieto, Newlin C. Weatherford, Giacomo Fragione +2
Very massive stars (VMSs) formed via a sequence of stellar collisions in dense star clusters have been proposed as the progenitors of massive black hole seeds. VMSs could indeed co…
Remnant masses from 1D+ core-collapse supernovae simulations: bimodal neutron star mass distribution and black holes in the low-mass gap
Luca Boccioli, Giacomo Fragione
The explosion of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) is an extremely challenging problem, and there are still large uncertainties regarding which stars lead to successful explosions t…
On the Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background from Binary Black Hole Mergers Dynamically Assembled in Dense Star Clusters
Xiao-Xiao Kou, Giacomo Fragione, Vuk Mandic
With about a hundred binary black hole (BBH) mergers detected by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA, and with several hundreds expected in the current O4 run, GWs are revolutionizing our understandi…
Binary black hole mergers and intermediate-mass black holes in dense star clusters with collisional runaways
Rujuta A. Purohit, Giacomo Fragione, Frederic A. Rasio +2
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are believed to be the missing link between the supermassive black holes (BHs) found at the centers of massive galaxies and BHs formed through…
