Regression on Regression: Mapping Data-Driven Binary Black Hole Merger Rate Fits to Progenitor Histories
Emma Blanchet, Aryanna Schiebelbein-Zwack, Maya Fishbach
The binary black hole (BBH) merger rate is governed by the progenitor formation rate and the distribution of delay-times between formation and merger, but these functions remain po…
Forbidden Formation Histories: The Binary Black Hole Merger Rate Disfavors Long Delay Times
Aryanna Schiebelbein-Zwack, Maya Fishbach
The redshift evolution of the binary black hole (BBH) merger rate can be expressed as the convolution of the progenitor formation rate with the distribution of time delays between…
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…
The steep redshift evolution of the hierarchical binary black hole merger rate may cause the - correlation
Amanda M. Farah, Aditya Vijaykumar, Maya Fishbach
There is growing evidence from gravitational-wave observations that some merging black holes are created from previous mergers. Using the prediction that these hierarchically merge…
Where are Gaia's small black holes?
M. Fishbach, K. Breivik, R. Willcox +1
Gaia has recently revealed a population of over 20 compact objects in wide astrometric binaries, while LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) have observed around 100 compact object binaries as gr…
Implications of low neutron star merger rates for gamma-ray bursts, r-process production and Galactic double neutron stars
Maya Fishbach, Alexander P. Ji, Wen-fai Fong +4
The first multimessenger discovery of a binary neutron star (BNS) merger, GW170817, proved that such mergers can source short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) and produce r-process element…
