Examining the Gap in the Chirp Mass Distribution of Binary Black Holes

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The mass distribution of binary black holes inferred from gravitational-wave measurements is expected to shed light on their formation mechanisms. An emerging structure in the mass distribution indicates the presence of multiple peaks around chirp masses

Lighthouses of Gravitational Wave Astronomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Gravitational wave detectors capable of making astronomical observations could begin to operate within the next year, and over the next 10 years they will extend their reach out to cosmological distances, culminating in the space mission LISA. A prime target of these observatories will be binary systems, especially those whose orbits shrink measurably ...

Developing Tools for Multimessenger Gravitational Wave Astronomy

open access: yes, 2018
We present work in progress to craft open-sourced numerical tools that will enable the calculation of electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational waveforms: the {\tt GiRaFFE} (General Relativistic Force-Free Electrodynamics) code.

Trends in the Population of Binary Black Holes Following the Fourth Gravitational-wave Transient Catalog: A Data-driven Analysis

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Current models of binary black hole distributions are difficult to interpret because inferences hinge on modeling choices, which can mask or mimic real structure.

Optical Appearance of Eccentric Tidal Disruption Events

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Stars approaching supermassive black holes can be tidally disrupted. Despite being expected to emit X-rays, tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been largely observed in optical bands, which is poorly understood.

The Kick Velocity Distribution of Isolated Neutron Stars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Neutron stars (NSs) are thought to receive natal kicks at their formation in supernovae. In order to investigate the magnitude of these kicks, we analyze the proper motions and distance estimates—through either parallax or dispersion measures—of young ...
