Profiling stellar environments of gravitational wave sources
Avinash Tiwari, Aditya Vijaykumar, Shasvath J. Kapadia +2
Gravitational waves (GWs) have enabled direct detections of compact binary coalescences (CBCs). However, their poor sky localisation and the typical lack of observable electromagne…

Remnant masses from 1D+ core-collapse supernovae simulations: bimodal neutron star mass distribution and black holes in the low-mass gap
Luca Boccioli, Giacomo Fragione
The explosion of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) is an extremely challenging problem, and there are still large uncertainties regarding which stars lead to successful explosions t…

IMBH Progenitors from Stellar Collisions in Dense Star Clusters
Elena González Prieto, Newlin C. Weatherford, Giacomo Fragione +2
Very massive stars (VMSs) formed via a sequence of stellar collisions in dense star clusters have been proposed as the progenitors of massive black hole seeds. VMSs could indeed co…
