Resolving white dwarf binaries within globular clusters with LISA
Wouter G. J. van Zeist, Gijs Nelemans, Shu-Xu Yi +1
Context: Globular clusters (GCs) around the Milky Way (MW) are expected to host white dwarf (WD) binaries emitting gravitational waves that could be detectable by LISA. Aims: Our a…
White dwarf-neutron star binaries: a plausible pathway for long-duration gamma-ray bursts from compact object mergers?
A. A. Chrimes, N. Gaspari, A. J. Levan +7
Two long-duration gamma-ray bursts were recently discovered with kilonovae, the signature of r-process element production in a compact binary merger, rather than supernovae. This h…
Comparing population synthesis models of compact double white dwarfs to electromagnetic observations
Wouter G. J. van Zeist, Jan van Roestel, Gijs Nelemans +3
Context: Studies of the Galactic population of double white dwarfs (DWDs) that would be detectable in gravitational waves by LISA have found differences in the number of predicted…
Predicting gravitational wave signals from BPASS White Dwarf Binary and Black Hole Binary populations of a Milky Way-like galaxy model for LISA
Petra Tang, Jan Eldridge, Renate Meyer +3
Galactic white dwarf binaries (WDBs) and black hole binaries (BHBs) will be gravitational wave (GW) sources for LISA. Their detection will provide insights into binary evolution an…
Evaluating the gravitational wave detectability of globular clusters and the Magellanic Clouds for LISA
Wouter G. J. van Zeist, Gijs Nelemans, Simon F. Portegies Zwart +1
We use the stellar evolution code BPASS and the gravitational wave simulation code LEGWORK to simulate populations of compact binaries that may be detected by the in-development sp…
