Evolutionary Origins of Binary Neutron Star Mergers: Effects of Common Envelope Efficiency and Metallicity
Monica Gallegos-Garcia, Christopher P L Berry, Vicky Kalogera
The formation histories of compact binary mergers, especially stellar-mass binary-black hole mergers, have recently come under increased scrutiny and revision. In this paper we rev…
Jetted and Turbulent Stellar Deaths: New LVK-Detectable Gravitational Wave Sources
Ore Gottlieb, Hiroki Nagakura, Alexander Tchekhovskoy +6
Upcoming LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA (LVK) observing runs are expected to detect a variety of inspiralling gravitational-wave (GW) events, that come from black-hole and neutron-star binary me…
Investigating the Lower Mass Gap with Low Mass X-ray Binary Population Synthesis
Jared C. Siegel, Ilia Kiato, Vicky Kalogera +14
Mass measurements from low-mass black hole X-ray binaries (LMXBs) and radio pulsars have been used to identify a gap between the most massive neutron stars (NSs) and the least mass…
Limits on hierarchical black hole mergers from the most negative systems
Maya Fishbach, Chase Kimball, Vicky Kalogera
It has been proposed that some black holes (BHs) in binary black hole (BBH) systems are born from "hierarchical mergers" (HM); i.e. earlier mergers of smaller BHs. These HM product…
Constraining Black Hole Natal Kicks with Astrometric Microlensing
Jeff J. Andrews, Vicky Kalogera
Multiple pieces of evidence suggest that neutron stars receive large kicks when formed from the remnant of a collapsing star. However, the evidence for whether black holes (BH) rec…
POSYDON: A General-Purpose Population Synthesis Code with Detailed Binary-Evolution Simulations
Tassos Fragos, Jeff J. Andrews, Simone S. Bavera +22
Most massive stars are members of a binary or a higher-order stellar systems, where the presence of a binary companion can decisively alter their evolution via binary interactions.…
