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…
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 ,…
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…
