MOCCA-SURVEY database I. Accreting white dwarf binary systems in globular clusters -- IV. cataclysmic variables -- properties of bright and faint populations

Diogo Belloni, Mirek Giersz, Liliana E. Rivera Sandoval +2

We investigate here populations of cataclysmic variables (CVs) in a set of 288 globular cluster (GC) models evolved with the MOCCA code. This is by far the largest sample of GC mod…

Finding Black Holes with Black Boxes -- Using Machine Learning to Identify Globular Clusters with Black Hole Subsystems

Ammar Askar, Abbas Askar, Mario Pasquato +1

Machine learning is a powerful technique, becoming increasingly popular in astrophysics. In this paper, we apply machine learning to more than a thousand globular cluster (GC) mode…

MOCCA-SURVEY Database I: Galactic Globular Clusters Harbouring a Black Hole Subsystem

Abbas Askar, Manuel Arca Sedda, Mirek Giersz

There have been increasing theoretical speculations and observational indications that certain globular clusters (GCs) could contain a sizeable population of stellar mass black hol…

MOCCA-SURVEY Database I: Assessing GW kick retention fractions for BH-BH mergers in globular clusters

J. Morawski, M. Giersz, A. Askar +1

Anisotropy of gravitational wave (GW) emission results in a net momentum gained by the black hole (BH) merger product, leading to a recoil velocity up to $\sim10^3\text{ km s}^{-1}…

MOCCA-SURVEY Database I. Unravelling black hole subsystems in globular clusters

Manuel Arca Sedda, Abbas Askar, Mirek Giersz

In this paper, we discuss how globular clusters (GCs) structural and observational properties can be used to infer the presence of a black hole system (BHS) inhabiting their inner…
