When the stars don't align: Investigating inconsistencies in binary black hole formation across population synthesis codes
Alexandra G. Guerrero, Michael Zevin, Duncan B. Maclean +4
Binary population synthesis (BPS) codes are valuable tools for investigating the end-to-end lives of binary stars as well as a myriad of observed astrophysical phenomena. Many ``ra…
A new model for the continuum spectra of AM CVn binaries and multi-messenger inference with normalizing flows
Nathan Steinle, Samar Safi-Harb, Austin MacMaster +5
Future electromagnetic telescopes, such as , , and an -like mission, along with milli-Hz gravitational-wave (GW) detectors such…
Twin Peaks: Resolving Features in the Binary Black Hole Mass Function with COSMIC-METISSE
Duncan B. Maclean, Poojan Agrawal, Katelyn Breivik +4
Gravitational waves from inspiraling binary black holes (BBHs) provide insights into the lives and deaths of massive stars. Population synthesis allows us to model these binaries t…
Unraveling the Origin of Unequal Mass Gravitational Wave Events: Insights from a Galactic High Mass X-ray Binary
Neev Shah, Mathieu Renzo, Koushik Sen +2
The catalog of Gravitational Wave (GW) events is rapidly growing, providing key insights into the evolution of massive binaries and compact object formation. However, a key challen…
Lucky Strikes: On the Origins of GW190814 Through Isolated Binary Evolution
Ignacio Magaña Hernandez, Katelyn Breivik
The asymmetric nature of GW190814, particularly its mass ratio (), has made its astrophysical origin elusive. We explore isolated binary evolution as a potential ex…
Population Synthesis of Gravitational Wave Sources
Katelyn Breivik
The simulation of gravitational wave source populations and their progenitors is an endeavor more than eighty years in the making. This is in part due to a wide variety of theoreti…
