Black-hole mergers in disklike environments could explain the observed - correlation
Alessandro Santini, Davide Gerosa, Roberto Cotesta +1
Current gravitational-wave data from stellar-mass black-hole binary mergers suggest a correlation between the binary mass ratio and the effective spin : more un…
One to many: comparing single gravitational-wave events to astrophysical populations
Matthew Mould, Davide Gerosa, Marco Dall'Amico +1
Gravitational-wave observations have revealed sources whose unusual properties challenge our understanding of compact-binary formation. Inferring the formation processes that are b…
QLUSTER: quick clusters of merging binary black holes
Davide Gerosa, Matthew Mould
This short document illustrates QLUSTER: a toy model for populations of binary black holes in dense astrophysical environments. QLUSTER is a simple tool to investigate the occurren…
The last three years: multiband gravitational-wave observations of stellar-mass binary black holes
Antoine Klein, Geraint Pratten, Riccardo Buscicchio +10
Understanding the formation and evolution of the stellar-mass binary black holes discovered by LIGO and Virgo is a challenge that spans many areas of astrophysics, from stellar evo…
Hierarchical mergers of stellar-mass black holes and their gravitational-wave signatures
Davide Gerosa, Maya Fishbach
We review theoretical findings, astrophysical modeling, and current gravitational-wave evidence of hierarchical stellar-mass black-hole mergers. While most of the compact binary me…
High mass but low spin: an exclusion region to rule out hierarchical black-hole mergers as a mechanism to populate the pair-instability mass gap
Davide Gerosa, Nicola Giacobbo, Alberto Vecchio
The occurrence of pair-instability supernovae is predicted to prevent the formation of black holes with masses . Recent gravitational-wave detections in this ma…
