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 ...

Expansion of Accreting Main-sequence Stars during Rapid Mass Transfer

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Accreting main-sequence stars expand significantly when the mass accretion timescale is much shorter than their thermal timescales. This occurs during mass transfer from an evolved giant star onto a main-sequence companion in a binary system and is an ...
