An X-ray quiet black hole born with a negligible kick in a massive binary within the Large Magellanic Cloud
Tomer Shenar, Hugues Sana, Laurent Mahy +35
Stellar-mass black holes are the final remnants of stars born with more than 15 solar masses. Billions are expected to reside in the Local Group, yet only few are known, mostly det…
Binary Black Hole Formation with Detailed Modeling: Stable Mass Transfer Leads to Lower Merger Rates
Monica Gallegos-Garcia, Christopher P L Berry, Pablo Marchant +1
Rapid binary population synthesis codes are often used to investigate the evolution of compact-object binaries. They typically rely on analytical fits of single-star evolutionary t…
Probing the progenitors of spinning binary black-hole mergers with long gamma-ray bursts
Simone S. Bavera, Tassos Fragos, Emmanouil Zapartas +15
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts are thought to be associated with the core-collapse of massive, rapidly spinning stars and the formation of black holes. However, efficient angular m…
One Channel to Rule Them All? Constraining the Origins of Binary Black Holes using Multiple Formation Pathways
Michael Zevin, Simone S. Bavera, Christopher P. L. Berry +7
The second LIGO-Virgo catalog of gravitational wave transients has more than quadrupled the observational sample of binary black holes. We analyze this catalog using a suite of fiv…
The impact of mass-transfer physics on the observable properties of field binary black hole populations
Simone S. Bavera, Tassos Fragos, Michael Zevin +13
We study the impact of mass-transfer physics on the observable properties of binary black hole populations formed through isolated binary evolution. We investigate the impact of ma…
Progenitors of Type IIb Supernovae: II. Observable Properties
Niharika Sravan, Pablo Marchant, Vassiliki Kalogera +2
Type IIb supernovae (SNe IIb) present a unique opportunity for investigating the evolutionary channels and mechanisms governing the evolution of stripped-envelope SN progenitors du…
