Merging black hole binaries: the effects of progenitor's metallicity, mass-loss rate and Eddington factor
Nicola Giacobbo, Michela Mapelli, Mario Spera
The first four gravitational wave events detected by LIGO were all interpreted as merging black hole binaries (BHBs), opening a new perspective on the study of such systems. Here w…

The cosmic merger rate of stellar black hole binaries from the Illustris simulation
Michela Mapelli, Nicola Giacobbo, Emanuele Ripamonti +1
The cosmic merger rate density of black hole binaries (BHBs) can give us an essential clue to constraining the formation channels of BHBs, in light of current and forthcoming gravi…
