Targeted modeling of GW150914's binary black hole source with dart_board
Jeff J. Andrews, Julianne Cronin, Vicky Kalogera +2
We present a new method to extract statistical constraints on the progenitor properties and formation channels of individual gravitational-wave sources. Although many different mod…
One Channel to Rule Them All? Constraining the Origins of Binary Black Holes using Multiple Formation Pathways
Michael Zevin, Simone S. Bavera, Christopher P. L. Berry +7
The second LIGO-Virgo catalog of gravitational wave transients has more than quadrupled the observational sample of binary black holes. We analyze this catalog using a suite of fiv…
Evidence for hierarchical black hole mergers in the second LIGO--Virgo gravitational-wave catalog
Chase Kimball, Colm Talbot, Christopher P. L. Berry +10
We study the population properties of merging binary black holes in the second LIGO--Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog assuming they were all formed dynamically in gravita…
Progenitors of Type IIb Supernovae: II. Observable Properties
Niharika Sravan, Pablo Marchant, Vassiliki Kalogera +2
Type IIb supernovae (SNe IIb) present a unique opportunity for investigating the evolutionary channels and mechanisms governing the evolution of stripped-envelope SN progenitors du…
Exploring the Lower Mass Gap and Unequal Mass Regime in Compact Binary Evolution
Michael Zevin, Mario Spera, Christopher P. L. Berry +1
On August 14, 2019, the LIGO and Virgo detectors observed GW190814, a gravitational-wave signal originating from the merger of a black hole with a $\simeq 2.6 M…
Black hole genealogy: Identifying hierarchical mergers with gravitational waves
Chase Kimball, Colm Talbot, Christopher P. L. Berry +4
In dense stellar environments, the merger products of binary black hole mergers may undergo additional mergers. These hierarchical mergers are predicted to have higher masses than…
