[HTML][HTML] 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 …
