A Framework for Linking Pre- and Post-Common Envelope Binary Properties with Star Clusters: The First Demonstration with a Massive White Dwarf+M Dwarf Binary in Alessi 12
Steffani M. Grondin, Maria R. Drout, Jason Nordhaus +12
Common envelope (CE) evolution is a critical phase in the lives of binary stars, producing close binaries that are progenitors of type Ia supernovae and gravitational wave sources.…
The diverse outcomes of binary white dwarf mergers and connections to Galactic LISA sources
Kyle Kremer, Katelyn Breivik, Claire S. Ye
The paper creates mock catalogs of Milky Way white dwarf mergers using population synthesis and galaxy simulations, and examines the diverse astrophysical outcomes and their releva…
Formation of rotating supergiants via stellar mergers in dense clusters: Implications for black hole natal spins
Ishaan Satish, Kyle Kremer, Fulya KıroÄlu +2
We investigate how massive stellar mergers in young star clusters imprint on black hole spin distributions and the broader implications for gravitational wave sources. The central…
Formation of Black Hole-White Dwarf X-ray Binaries in Globular Clusters
William Y. W. Yang, Kyle Kremer, James C. Lombardi +1
Globular clusters are host to significant populations of dynamically-active stellar remnants that connect to a variety of astrophysical sources. Using simulations performed with th…
Red vs. Blue: How metallicity shapes black hole dynamics and mergers in dense star clusters
Saloni Agrawal, Kyle Kremer, Michael Zevin +6
Dense star clusters are a well-established environment for the formation of gravitational wave sources through dynamical interactions. Recent LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) events such as…
Black hole mergers from dense star clusters with realistic binary populations
Christopher E. O'Connor, Kyle Kremer, Saloni Agrawal +5
We present a suite of 24 full-lifetime simulations of dense star clusters with the Cluster Monte Carlo (CMC) code, featuring updated input physics and a realistic distribution of i…
