A Strongly Parametrized Mass Ratio Model for the Stable Mass Transfer Channel: a Case Study of the Peak

Jaxen Godfrey, Lieke van Son, Ben Farr

The mass ratio of merging binary black holes (BBHs) carries information about their formation history, yet has received less attention than masses, spins and eccentricities as a ch…

Evidence of the pair instability gap from black hole masses

Hui Tong, Maya Fishbach, Eric Thrane +13

Stellar theory predicts a forbidden range of black-hole masses between -- due to pair-instability supernovae, but evidence for such a gap in the mass distri…

Implications of modern mass-loss rates for massive stars

JD Merritt, Simon Stevenson, Andreas Sander +7

Massive stars lose a significant fraction of their mass through stellar winds at various stages of their lives, including on the main sequence, during the red supergiant phase, and…

Are all models wrong? Falsifying binary formation models in gravitational-wave astronomy

Lachlan Passenger, Eric Thrane, Paul D. Lasky +3

As the catalogue of gravitational-wave transients grows, several entries appear "exceptional" within the population. Tipping the scales with a total mass of ,…

Transdimensional inference for gravitational-wave astronomy with Bilby

Hui Tong, Nir Guttman, Teagan A. Clarke +8

It has become increasingly useful to answer questions in gravitational-wave astronomy using transdimensional models where the number of free parameters can be varied depending on t…

Early Advanced LIGO binary neutron-star sky localization and parameter estimation

C P L Berry, B Farr, W M Farr +15

2015 will see the first observations of Advanced LIGO and the start of the gravitational-wave (GW) advanced-detector era. One of the most promising sources for ground-based GW dete…

Parameter estimation for compact binary coalescence signals with the first generation gravitational-wave detector network

the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +801

Compact binary systems with neutron stars or black holes are one of the most promising sources for ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Gravitational radiation encodes rich i…
