COSMIC Variance in Binary Population Synthesis
Katelyn Breivik, Scott Coughlin, Michael Zevin +8
The formation and evolution of binary stars is a critical component of several fields in astronomy. The most numerous sources for gravitational wave observatories are inspiraling a…
Modeling Dense Star Clusters in the Milky Way and Beyond with the Cluster Catalog
Kyle Kremer, Claire S. Ye, Nicholas Z. Rui +6
We present a set of 148 independent -body simulations of globular clusters (GCs) computed using the code (). At an age of $\sim10-13…
On the Rate of Neutron Star Binary Mergers from Globular Clusters
Claire S. Ye, Wen-fai Fong, Kyle Kremer +4
The first detection of gravitational waves from a neutron star - neutron star (NS-NS) merger, GW170817, and the increasing number of observations of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs)…
The Role of "Black Hole Burning" in the Evolution of Dense Star Clusters
Kyle Kremer, Claire S. Ye, Sourav Chatterjee +2
As self-gravitating systems, dense star clusters exhibit a natural diffusion of energy from their innermost to outermost regions, which leads to a slow and steady contraction of th…
Single-single gravitational-wave captures in globular clusters: Eccentric deci-Hertz sources observable by DECIGO and Tian-Qin
Johan Samsing, Daniel J. D'Orazio, Kyle Kremer +2
We study the formation rate of binary black hole mergers formed through gravitational-wave emission between unbound, single black holes in globular clusters. While the formation of…
Black Holes: The Next Generation -- Repeated Mergers in Dense Star Clusters and their Gravitational-Wave Properties
Carl L. Rodriguez, Michael Zevin, Pau Amaro-Seoane +4
When two black holes merge in a dense star cluster, they form a new black hole with a well-defined mass and spin. If that "second-generation" black hole remains in the cluster, it…
