Isolated and dynamical black hole mergers with \texttt{B-POP}: the role of star formation and dynamics, star cluster evolution, natal kicks, mass and spins, and hierarchical mergers
Manuel Arca Sedda, Michela Mapelli, Matthew Benacquista +1
The current interpretation of LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA data suggests that the primary mass function of merging binary black holes (BBHs) at redshift contains multiple struc…
The Cosmic Evolution of Binary Black Holes in Young, Globular and Nuclear Star Clusters: Rates, Masses, Spins and Mixing Fractions
Michela Mapelli, Yann Bouffanais, Filippo Santoliquido +2
The growing population of binary black holes (BBHs) observed by gravitational wave detectors is a potential Rosetta stone for understanding their formation channels. Here, we use a…
GW190521 formation via three-body encounters in young massive star clusters
Marco Dall'Amico, Michela Mapelli, Ugo N. Di Carlo +5
GW190521 is the most massive binary black hole (BBH) merger observed to date, and its primary component lies in the pair-instability (PI) mass gap. Here, we investigate the formati…
Preparing the next gravitational million-body simulations: Evolution of single and binary stars in Nbody6++GPU, MOCCA and McLuster
A. W. H. Kamlah, A. Leveque, R. Spurzem +9
We present the implementation of updated stellar evolution recipes in the codes \texttt{Nbody6++GPU, MOCCA} and \texttt{McLuster}. We test them through numerical simulations of sta…
The missing link in gravitational-wave astronomy: A summary of discoveries waiting in the decihertz range
Manuel Arca Sedda, Christopher P L Berry, Karan Jani +25
Since 2015 the gravitational-wave observations of LIGO and Virgo have transformed our understanding of compact-object binaries. In the years to come, ground-based gravitational-wav…
MOCCA-SURVEY Database -- I. Tidal disruption events of white dwarfs in globular clusters and young massive clusters
Ataru Tanikawa, Mirek Giersz, Manuel Arca Sedda
We exploit more than 1000 star cluster Monte Carlo models from the MOCCA-SURVEY Database I, to infer the local rate density of white dwarf (WD) tidal disruption events (TDEs) in gl…
