Prospects for the formation of GW231123 from the AGN channel
V. Delfavero, S. Ray, H. E. Cook +6
The recent binary black hole (BBH) merger GW231123 consisted of the merger of two intermediate mass black holes (IMBH) which appear to have large spin magnitudes. Active galactic n…
McFACTS II: Mass Ratio--Effective Spin Relationship of Black Hole Mergers in the AGN Channel
Harrison E. Cook, Barry McKernan, K. E. Saavik Ford +6
We use the Monte Carlo For AGN (active galactic nucleus) Channel Testing and Simulation (McFACTS, https://www.github.com/mcfacts/mcfacts) code to study the effect of AGN disk and n…
McFacts III: Compact binary mergers from AGN disks over an entire synthetic universe
Vera Delfavero, K. E. Saavik Ford, Barry McKernan +6
The Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) channel for the formation of binary black hole (BBH) mergers has been previously studied as a potential formation channel for the merging compact b…
McFACTS I: Testing the LVK AGN channel with Monte Carlo For AGN Channel Testing & Simulation (McFACTS)
Barry McKernan, K. E. Saavik Ford, Harrison E. Cook +6
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are a promising source of the binary black hole (BBH) mergers observed in gravitational waves with LIGO-Virgo-Kagra (LVK). Constraining the AGN channel…
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…
Systematic challenges for future gravitational wave measurements of precessing binary black holes
A. R. Williamson, J. Lange, R. O'Shaughnessy +4
The properties of precessing, coalescing binary black holes are presently inferred through comparison with two approximate models of compact binary coalescence. In this work we sho…
