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…
Binary Black Hole Mergers from Globular Clusters: the Impact of Globular Cluster Properties
Jongsuk Hong, Enrico Vesperini, Abbas Askar +3
The dense environment of globular clusters (GCs) can facilitate the formation of binary black holes (BBHs), some of which can merge with gravitational waves (GW) within the age of…
Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap
Leor Barack, Vitor Cardoso, Samaya Nissanke +203
The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics---dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-…
Black Hole Mergers from Globular Clusters Observable by LISA and LIGO: Results from post-Newtonian Binary-Single Scatterings
Johan Samsing, Daniel J. D'Orazio, Abbas Askar +1
We study the gravitational wave (GW) frequency and chirp mass distribution of binary black hole (BBH) mergers assembled through three-body interactions in globular clusters (GCs),…
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…
