Gravitational-wave detectors have transformed the way we observe the Universe. Together
with ground and space electromagnetic observatories, they have provided key insights into …

The ground-based gravitational wave (GW) detectors LIGO and Virgo have enabled the birth
of multi-messenger GW astronomy via the detection of GWs from merging stellar-mass black …

Gravitational-wave observations by the laser interferometer gravitational-wave observatory
(LIGO) and Virgo have provided us a new tool to explore the Universe on all scales from …

Fast neutron-rich material ejected dynamically over≲ 10 ms during the merger of a binary
neutron star (BNS) can give rise to distinctive electromagnetic counterparts to the system's …

Although stable neutron stars (NSs) can in principle exist down to masses M ns≈ 0.1 M⊙,
standard models of stellar core-collapse predict a robust lower limit M ns≳ 1.2 M⊙, roughly …

The detection of the binary black hole merger GW190521, with primary black hole mass,
proved the existence of black holes in the theoretically predicted pair-instability gap () of …

Current observations of binary black hole (BBH) merger events show support for a feature in
the primary BH-mass distribution at, previously interpreted as a signature of pulsational pair …

We present the first numerical study of gravitational waves (GWs) from collapsar disks, using
state-of-the-art 3D general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of collapsing stars …

Identifying the sites of r-process nucleosynthesis, a primary mechanism of heavy element
production, is a key goal of astrophysics. The discovery of the brightest gamma-ray burst …

We present a chemo-dynamical analysis for 27 near main-sequence turnoff metal-poor
stars, including 20 stars analysed for the first time. The sample spans a range in [Fe/H] from …
