Impact of Massive Binary Star and Cosmic Evolution on Gravitational Wave Observations II: Double Compact Object Rates and Properties
Floor S. Broekgaarden, Edo Berger, Simon Stevenson +9
Making the most of the rapidly increasing population of gravitational-wave detections of black hole (BH) and neutron star (NS) mergers requires comparing observations with populati…
Detailed models of interacting short-period massive binary stars
K. Sen, N. Langer, P. Marchant +10
About a quarter of massive binary stars undergo mass transfer while both stars burn hydrogen at their cores, first on the thermal and then on the nuclear timescale. The nuclear tim…
Gravitational wave sources in our Galactic backyard: Predictions for BHBH, BHNS and NSNS binaries detectable with LISA
Tom Wagg, Floor S. Broekgaarden, Selma E. de Mink +3
Future searches for gravitational waves from space will be sensitive to double compact objects (DCOs) in our Milky Way. We present new simulations of the populations of double blac…
LEGWORK: A python package for computing the evolution and detectability of stellar-origin gravitational-wave sources with space-based detectors
Tom Wagg, Katelyn Breivik, Selma E. de Mink
We present LEGWORK (LISA Evolution and Gravitational Wave Orbit Kit), an open-source Python package for making predictions about stellar-origin gravitational wave sources and their…
The cosmic carbon footprint of massive stars stripped in binary systems
R. Farmer, E. Laplace, S. E. de Mink +1
The cosmic origin of carbon, a fundamental building block of life, is still uncertain. Yield predictions for massive stars are almost exclusively based on single star models, even…
The redshift evolution of the binary black hole merger rate: a weighty matter
L. A. C. van Son, S. E. de Mink, T. Callister +7
Gravitational wave detectors are starting to reveal the redshift evolution of the binary black hole (BBH) merger rate, . We make predictions for $R_{\mathrm{BB…
Rapid stellar and binary population synthesis with COMPAS
Team COMPAS, :, Jeff Riley +23
Compact Object Mergers: Population Astrophysics and Statistics (COMPAS; https://compas.science) is a public rapid binary population synthesis code. COMPAS generates populations of…
The B-type Binaries Characterisation Programme I. Orbital solutions for the 30 Doradus population
J. I. Villaseñor, W. D. Taylor, C. J. Evans +6
We present results from the B-type Binaries Characterisation (BBC) programme, a multi-epoch spectroscopic study of 88 early B-type binary candidates in the 30 Doradus region of the…
Impact of Massive Binary Star and Cosmic Evolution on Gravitational Wave Observations I: Black Hole-Neutron Star Mergers
Floor S. Broekgaarden, Edo Berger, Coenraad J. Neijssel +7
Mergers of black hole-neutron star (BHNS) binaries have now been observed by GW detectors with the recent announcement of GW200105 and GW200115. Such observations not only provide…
Different to the core: the pre-supernova structures of massive single and binary-stripped stars
E. Laplace, S. Justham, M. Renzo +4
The majority of massive stars live in binary or multiple systems and will interact during their lifetimes, which helps to explain the observed diversity of core-collapse supernovae…
