Missing Black Holes Unveil The Supernova Explosion Mechanism
K. Belczynski, G. Wiktorowicz, C. Fryer +2
It is firmly established that the stellar mass distribution is smooth, covering the range 0.1-100 Msun. It is to be expected that the masses of the ensuing compact remnants correla…
Understanding Compact Object Formation and Natal Kicks. III. The case of Cygnus X-1
Tsing-Wai Wong, Francesca Valsecchi, Tassos Fragos +1
In recent years, accurate observational constraints become available for an increasing number of Galactic X-ray binaries. Together with proper motion measurements, we could reconst…
Estimating parameters of coalescing compact binaries with a detector network including LIGO Australia
Benjamin Aylott, Benjamin Farr, Vassiliki Kalogera +6
One of the goals of gravitational-wave astronomy is simultaneous detection of gravitational-wave signals from merging compact-object binaries and the electromagnetic transients fro…
Tidally-Induced Apsidal Precession in Double White Dwarfs: a new mass measurement tool with LISA
Francesca Valsecchi, Will M. Farr, Bart Willems +2
Galactic interacting double white dwarfs (DWD) are guaranteed gravitational wave (GW) sources for the GW detector LISA, with more than 10^4 binaries expected to be detected over th…
Spin Tilts in the Double Pulsar Reveal Supernova Spin Angular-Momentum Production
Will M. Farr, Kyle Kremer, Maxim Lyutikov +1
The system PSR J0737-3039 is the only binary pulsar known to consist of two radio pulsars (PSR J0737-3039 A and PSR J0737-3039 B). This unique configuration allows measurements of…
Search for gravitational waves from binary black hole inspiral, merger and ringdown
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +721
We present the first modeled search for gravitational waves using the complete binary black hole gravitational waveform from inspiral through the merger and ringdown for binaries w…
