Formation of Black-Hole X-Ray Binaries with Low-Mass Donors
Vassiliki Kalogera
The characteristics of black-hole X-ray binaries can be used to obtain information about their evolutionary history and the process of black-hole formation. In this paper I focus o…
Theoretical Black Hole Mass Distributions
Chris L. Fryer, Vassiliki Kalogera
We derive the theoretical distribution function of black hole masses by studying the formation processes of black holes. We use the results of recent 2D simulations of core-collaps…
Close Binaries with Two Compact Objects
Vassiliki Kalogera
The coalescence of close binary systems with two compact objects (neutron stars and black holes) are considered to be promising sources of gravitational waves for the currently bui…
Spin-Orbit Misalignment in Close Binaries with Two Compact Objects
Vassiliki Kalogera
Spin--orbit misalignment in coalescing compact binaries affects their gravitational radiation waveforms. When the misalignment angles are large (>30 degrees), the detection efficie…
An Upper Limit on the Coalescence Rate of Double Neutron-Star Binaries in the Galaxy
Vassiliki Kalogera, Duncan Lorimer
In the context of assessing the detectability of the coalescence of two neutron stars (NS) by currently built gravitational-wave experiments, we present a way of obtaining an upper…
Constraints on Supernova Kicks from the Double Neutron Star System PSR B1913+16
N. Wex, V. Kalogera, M. Kramer
We use recent information on geodetic precession of the binary pulsar B1913+16 along with measurements of its orbital parameters and proper motion to derive new constraints on the…
