The evolutionary roads leading to low effective spins, high black hole masses, and O1/O2 rates of LIGO/Virgo binary black holes

K. Belczynski, J. Klencki, C. E. Fields +31

All ten LIGO/Virgo binary black hole (BH-BH) coalescences reported from the O1/O2 runs have near zero effective spins. There are only three potential explanations of this fact. If…

The Formation, Evolution and Parameters of Short-Period Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries with Black-Hole Components

L. R. Yungelson, J. -P. Lasota

We discuss the formation, evolution and observational parameters of the population of short-period ( $< 10$ hr) low-mass black-hole binaries (LMBHB). Their evolution is determined by…
