Binary neutron star populations across cosmic time: the impact of binary stellar evolution uncertainties
Mathieu Venet, Irina Dvorkin
We investigate the impact of uncertainties in binary stellar evolution on the formation efficiency and cosmological merger rate of BNS systems. In particular, we aim to determine w…
Probing the redshift evolution and sub-populations of binary neutron stars with the Einstein Telescope
Alexandre Toubiana, Irina Dvorkin
The formation channels of binary neutron stars (BNSs) currently remain uncertain, but important information can be gathered by observing their mergers with gravitational-wave detec…
Postmerger: a new and dominant contribution to the gravitational-wave background from binary neutron stars
Léonard Lehoucq, Irina Dvorkin, Luciano Rezzolla
The stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) generated by the inspiral and merger of binary neutron stars is traditionally modelled assuming that the inspiral is promptly fo…
Evolutionary tracks of binary neutron star progenitors across cosmic times
Clément Pellouin, Irina Dvorkin, Léonard Lehoucq
Recent discoveries of gravitational wave sources have advanced our knowledge about the formation of compact object binaries. At present, many questions about the stellar origins of…
Astrophysical Uncertainties in the Gravitational-Wave Background from Stellar-Mass Compact Binary Mergers
Leonard Lehoucq, Irina Dvorkin, Rahul Srinivasan +2
We investigate the Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background (SGWB) produced by merging binary black holes (BBHs) and binary neutron stars (BNSs) in the frequency ranges of LIGO/Vir…
The impact of turbulent mixing on the galactic r-process enrichment by binary neutron star mergers
Irina Dvorkin, Frédéric Daigne, Stéphane Goriely +2
We study the enrichment of the interstellar medium with rapid neutron capture (r-process) elements produced in binary neutron star (BNS) mergers. We use a semi-analytic model to de…
High angular resolution gravitational wave astronomy
John Baker, Tessa Baker, Carmelita Carbone +19
Since the very beginning of astronomy the location of objects on the sky has been a fundamental observational quantity that has been taken for granted. While precise two dimensiona…
Retainment of r-process material in dwarf galaxies
Paz Beniamini, Irina Dvorkin, Joe Silk
The synthesis of -process elements is known to involve extremely energetic explosions. At the same time, recent observations find significant -process enrichment even in extr…
Exploring stellar evolution with gravitational-wave observations
Irina Dvorkin, Jean-Philippe Uzan, Elisabeth Vangioni +1
Recent detections of gravitational waves from merging binary black holes opened new possibilities to study the evolution of massive stars and black hole formation. In particular, s…
A synthetic model of the gravitational wave background from evolving binary compact objects
Irina Dvorkin, Jean-Philippe Uzan, Elisabeth Vangioni +1
Modeling the stochastic gravitational wave background from various astrophysical sources is a key objective in view of upcoming observations with ground- and space-based gravitatio…
Metallicity-constrained merger rates of binary black holes and the stochastic gravitational wave background
Irina Dvorkin, Elisabeth Vangioni, Joseph Silk +2
The recent detection of the binary black hole merger GW150914 demonstrates the existence of black holes more massive than previously observed in X-ray binaries in our Galaxy. This…
