A pulsar in a binary with a compact object in the mass gap between neutron stars and black holes [PDF]
Some compact objects observed in gravitational wave events have masses in the gap between known neutron stars (NSs) and black holes (BHs). The nature of these mass gap objects is unknown, as is the formation of their host binary systems. We report pulsar

The Evolution of Compact Binary Star Systems
We review the formation and evolution of compact binary stars consisting of white dwarfs (WDs), neutron stars (NSs), and black holes (BHs). Binary NSs and BHs are thought to be the primary astrophysical sources of gravitational waves (GWs) within the ...

Relativistic Binaries in Globular Clusters
Galactic globular clusters are old, dense star systems typically containing 10^4 – 10^6 stars. As an old population of stars, globular clusters contain many collapsed and degenerate objects. As a dense population of stars, globular clusters are the scene

Astrophysical Uncertainties in the Gravitational-Wave Background from Stellar-Mass Compact Binary Mergers [PDF]
We investigate the Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background (SGWB) produced by merging binary black holes (BBHs) and binary neutron stars (BNSs) in the frequency ranges of LIGO/Virgo/Kagra and LISA.

Pre-supernova evolution, compact-object masses, and explosion properties of stripped binary stars [PDF]
The era of large transient surveys, gravitational-wave observatories, and multi-messenger astronomy has opened up new possibilities for our understanding of the evolution and final fate of massive stars.

Compact Binary Merger Rate in Dark-matter Spikes [PDF]
Today, the existence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the center of galactic halos is almost confirmed. An extremely dense region referred to as dark-matter spike is expected to form around central SMBHs as they grow and evolve adiabatically.

Gigaelectronvolt emission from a compact binary merger [PDF]
An energetic γ-ray burst (GRB), GRB 211211A, was observed on 11 December 20211,2. Despite its long duration, typically associated with bursts produced by the collapse of massive stars, the observation of an optical-infrared kilonova points to a compact ...

POSYDON: A General-purpose Population Synthesis Code with Detailed Binary-evolution Simulations
Most massive stars are members of a binary or a higher-order stellar system, where the presence of a binary companion can decisively alter their evolution via binary interactions. Interacting binaries are also important astrophysical laboratories for the

GW190425: Observation of a Compact Binary Coalescence with Total Mass $\sim 3.4 M_{\odot}$ [PDF]
On 2019 April 25, the LIGO Livingston detector observed a compact binary coalescence with signal-to-noise ratio 12.9. The Virgo detector was also taking data that did not contribute to detection due to a low signal-to-noise ratio, but were used for ...
