Compact Object Modeling with the StarTrack Population Synthesis Code
K. Belczynski, V. Kalogera, F. A. Rasio +5
We present a comprehensive description of the population synthesis code StarTrack. The original code has been significantly modified and updated. Special emphasis is placed here on…
Binary Mergers and Growth of Black Holes in Dense Star Clusters
Ryan M. O'Leary, Frederic A. Rasio, John M. Fregeau +2
We model the dynamical evolution of primordial black holes (BHs) in dense star clusters using a simplified treatment of stellar dynamics in which the BHs are assumed to remain conc…
Effect of metallicity on low mass X-ray binaries in globular clusters
Natalia Ivanova
We propose that the observed difference in the formation rates of bright low-mass X-ray binaries in metal-rich and metal-poor globular clusters can be explained by taking into acco…
Population of dynamically formed triples in dense stellar systems
Natalia Ivanova
In dense stellar systems, frequent dynamical interactions between binaries lead to the formation of multiple systems. In this contribution we discuss the dynamical formation of hie…
Low Mass X-ray Binaries and Metallicity Dependence: Story of Failures
Natalia Ivanova
Observations of galactic and extra-galactic globular clusters have shown that on average metal-rich clusters are ~3 times as likely to contain a bright X-ray source than their meta…
Close Binary Interactions of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes: Possible Ultra-Luminous X-ray Sources?
L. Blecha, N. Ivanova, V. Kalogera +3
While many observed ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs, Lx > 10^39 erg s^-1) could be extragalactic X-ray binaries (XRBs) emitting close to the Eddington limit, the highest-luminos…
