Abstract The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be a transformative experiment
for gravitational wave astronomy, and, as such, it will offer unique opportunities to address …

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 …

The third Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-3) describes signals detected with
Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo up to the end of their third observing run. Updating the …

The first observation of gravitational waves from the inspiral of a binary neutron star (BNS)
200 system on 2017 August 17 (Abbott et al. 2017b) was a major landmark in multi …

Double neutron star (DNS) systems represent extreme physical objects and the endpoint of
an exotic journey of stellar evolution and binary interactions. Large numbers of DNS systems …

The formation and evolution of binary stars are critical components of several fields in
astronomy. The most numerous sources for gravitational wave observatories are inspiraling …

The mergers of double neutron star (NS–NS) and black hole (BH)–NS binaries are
promising gravitational wave (GW) sources for Advanced LIGO and future GW detectors. The …

We investigate the impact of uncertainty in the metallicity-specific star formation rate over
cosmic time on predictions of the rates and masses of double compact object mergers …

Population-synthesis codes are an unique tool to explore the parameter space of massive
binary star evolution and binary compact object (BCO) formation. Most population-synthesis …

Six gravitational wave events have been reported by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration (LVC),
five of them associated with black hole binary (BHB) mergers and one with a double neutron …
