Rates of compact object coalescences
I Mandel, FS Broekgaarden - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2022 - Springer
Gravitational-wave detections are enabling measurements of the rate of coalescences of
binaries composed of two compact objects—neutron stars and/or black holes. The …

Hierarchical mergers of stellar-mass black holes and their gravitational-wave signatures
D Gerosa, M Fishbach - Nature Astronomy, 2021 - nature.com
While most of the compact-binary mergers detected by LIGO and Virgo are expected to
consist of first-generation black holes formed from the collapse of stars, others might instead …

Cover your basis: Comprehensive data-driven characterization of the binary black hole population
We introduce the first complete nonparametric model for the astrophysical distribution of the
binary black hole (BBH) population. Constructed from basis splines, we use these models to …
