Apples and Oranges: Comparing black holes in X-ray binaries and gravitational-wave sources
Maya Fishbach, Vicky Kalogera
The component black holes (BHs) observed in gravitational-wave (GW) binary black hole (BBH) events tend to be more massive and slower spinning than those observed in black hole X-r…
Binary Black Hole Formation with Detailed Modeling: Stable Mass Transfer Leads to Lower Merger Rates
Monica Gallegos-Garcia, Christopher P L Berry, Pablo Marchant +1
Rapid binary population synthesis codes are often used to investigate the evolution of compact-object binaries. They typically rely on analytical fits of single-star evolutionary t…
The time delay distribution and formation metallicity of LIGO-Virgo's binary black holes
Maya Fishbach, Vicky Kalogera
We derive the first constraints on the time delay distribution of binary black hole (BBH) mergers using the LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog GWTC-2. Assuming that th…
