Recovering Injected Astrophysics from the LISA Galactic Double White Dwarf Binaries
Vera Delfavero, Katelyn Breivik, Sarah Thiele +2
We present the successful recovery of common envelope ejection efficiency assumed in a simulated population of double white dwarf binaries like those which may be observed by the f…
cogsworth: A Gala of COSMIC proportions combining binary stellar evolution and galactic dynamics
Tom Wagg, Katelyn Breivik, Mathieu Renzo +1
We present cogsworth, an open-source Python tool for producing self-consistent population synthesis and galactic dynamics simulations. With cogsworth one can (1) sample a populatio…
The companion mass distribution of post common envelope hot subdwarf binaries: evidence for boosted and disrupted magnetic braking?
Lisa Blomberg, Kareem El-Badry, Katelyn Breivik +6
We measure the mass distribution of main-sequence (MS) companions to hot subdwarf B stars (sdBs) in post-common envelope binaries (PCEBs). We carried out a spectroscopic survey of…
Searching for binary black hole sub-populations in gravitational wave data using binned Gaussian processes
Anarya Ray, Ignacio Magaña Hernandez, Katelyn Breivik +1
Astrophysically motivated population models for binary black hole observables are often insufficient to capture the imprints of multiple formation channels. This is mainly due to t…
Delayed emission from luminous blue optical transients in black-hole binary systems
Davide Lazzati, Rosalba Perna, Taeho Ryu +1
At least three members of the recently identified class of fast luminous blue optical transient show evidence of late-time electromagnetic activity in great excess of what predicte…
