Uncovering the Physical Origins of Black Holes in the Milky Way for Astronomical Surveys
Ilia Kiato, Pierson Lipschultz, Vicky Kalogera +5
The observational landscape of stellar-mass black holes (BHs) in the Milky Way is expanding beyond X-ray binaries, with Gaia DR4 and Roman expected to open new windows onto BH popu…
From the Milky Way to the Early Universe: How Metallicity Shapes the Formation of Double Neutron Stars
Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Monica Gallegos-Garcia +10
Among the compact binaries detected through gravitational wave (GW) emission, double neutron stars (DNSs) hold the unique distinction of having well-characterized local analogs in…
The Mass-Ratio Distribution of the Low-Mass Binary Black Hole Subpopulation: A Natural Outcome of Isolated Binary Evolution
Monica Gallegos-Garcia, Anarya Ray, Vicky Kalogera +7
The observed merging binary black hole population is increasingly consistent with being composed of a mixture of subpopulations, each likely the result of different formation mecha…
Double Neutron Star Delay Times Across Cosmic Metallicities: The Role of Helium Star Progenitors
Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Max Briel +5
Metallicity can play a significant role in massive binary evolution through its impact on the opacity within stellar interiors and wind-driven mass loss. In this work, we investiga…
On the Astrophysical Origin of Binary Black Hole Subpopulations: A Tale of Three Channels?
Anarya Ray, Shirsha Mukherjee, Michael Zevin +1
There is increasing evidence for multiple binary black hole~(BBH) subpopulations in the cumulative gravitational wave catalog by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration. The astrophysic…
Disk-Regulated Mass Transfer Between Rotating Non-Degenerate Stars: Insights from Be and sdOB Binaries
Zepei Xing, Tassos Fragos, Vicky Kalogera +3
Mass transfer between non-degenerate stars is a fundamental but still poorly understood process in binary evolution. The commonly used rotationally limited accretion prescription i…
