Forward Modeling of Double Neutron Stars: Insights from Highly-Offset Short Gamma-Ray Bursts

Michael Zevin, Luke Zoltan Kelley, Anya Nugent +3

We present a detailed analysis of two well-localized, highly offset short gamma-ray bursts---GRB~070809 and GRB~090515---investigating the kinematic evolution of their progenitors…

Localization of Compact Binary Sources with Second Generation Gravitational-wave Interferometer Networks

Chris Pankow, Monica Rizzo, Kaushik Rao +2

GW170817 began gravitational-wave multimessenger astronomy. However, GW170817 will not be representative of detections in the coming years -- typical gravitational-wave sources wil…

The Complete Evolution of a Neutron-Star Binary through a Common Envelope Phase Using 1D Hydrodynamic Simulations

Tassos Fragos, Jeff J. Andrews, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +4

Over forty years of research suggests that the common envelope phase, in which an evolved star engulfs its companion upon expansion, is the critical evolutionary stage forming shor…

Can Neutron-Star Mergers Explain the r-process Enrichment in Globular Clusters?

Michael Zevin, Kyle Kremer, Daniel M. Siegel +4

Star-to-star dispersion of r-process elements has been observed in a significant number of old, metal-poor globular clusters. We investigate early-time neutron-star mergers as the…

What GW170729's exceptional mass and spin tells us about its family tree

Chase Kimball, Christopher P L Berry, Vicky Kalogera

Gravitational-wave observations give a unique insight into the formation and evolution of binary black holes. We use gravitational-wave measurements to address the question of whet…
