When are LIGO/Virgo's Big Black-Hole Mergers?

no code implementations19 Jan 2021 Maya Fishbach, Zoheyr Doctor, Thomas Callister, Bruce Edelman, Jiani Ye, Reed Essick, Will M. Farr, Ben Farr, Daniel E. Holz

An abrupt cutoff in the mass spectrum is expected from (pulsational) pair instability supernova simulations; however, GWTC-2 is only consistent with a Truncated mass model if the location of the cutoff increases from $45^{+13}_{-5}\, M_\odot$ at $z < 0. 4$ to $80^{+16}_{-13}\, M_\odot$ at $z > 0. 4$.

Constraints from gravitational wave detections of binary black hole mergers on the $^{12}\rm{C}\left(α,γ\right)^{16}\!\rm{O}$ rate

no code implementations11 Jun 2020 Robert Farmer, Mathieu Renzo, Selma de Mink, Maya Fishbach, Stephen Justham

With the first ten gravitational-wave detections of black holes, we constrain the astrophysical S-factor for $^{12}\rm{C}\left(\alpha,\gamma\right)^{16}\!\rm{O}$, at $300\rm{keV}$, to $S_{300}>175\rm{\, keV\, barns}$ at 68% confidence.

Does the Black Hole Merger Rate Evolve with Redshift?

2 code implementations25 May 2018 Maya Fishbach, Daniel E. Holz, Will M. Farr

The evolution of the merger rate across redshifts $0 < z \lesssim 1$ is directly tied to the formation and evolutionary processes, providing insight regarding the progenitor formation rate together with the distribution of time delays between formation and merger.
