Irregularly Sampled Time Series Interpolation for Detailed Binary Evolution Simulations Authors: Srivastava, Philipp M. ; Demir, Ugur ; Katsaggelos, Aggelos ; Kalogera, Vicky ; Teng, Elizabeth ; Fragos, Tassos ; Andrews, Jeff J. ; Bavera, Simone S. ; Briel, Max ; Gossage, Seth ; Kovlakas, Konstantinos ; Kruckow, Matthias U. ; Liotine, Camille ; Rocha,…

Confusion noise from astrophysical backgrounds at third-generation gravitational-wave detector networks Authors: Belgacem, Enis ; Iacovelli, Francesco; Maggiore, Michele ; Mancarella, Michele ; Muttoni, Niccolò. Abstract: At third-generation (3G) gravitational-wave detector networks, compact binaries coalescences produce a "confusion noise" due to unresolved sources and to the error in the reconstruction of resolved sources, that can degrade…

Stable case BB/BC mass transfer to form GW190425-like massive binary neutron star mergers Authors: Qin, Ying ; Zhu, Jin-Ping ; Meynet, Georges ; Zhang, Bing ; Wang, Fa-Yin ; Shu, Xin-Wen ; Song, Han-Feng ; Wang, Yuan-Zhu ; Yuan, Liang ; Wang, Zhen-Han-Tao ; Hu, Rui-Chong ; Wu, Dong-Hong ; Yi, Shuang-Xi ; Tang, Qing-Wen…

Comparison of global networks of third-generation gravitational-wave detectors Authors: Maggiore, Michele ; Iacovelli, Francesco ; Belgacem, Enis ; Mancarella, Michele ; Muttoni, Niccolò. Abstract: We study the performances of a world-wide network made by a European third-generation gravitational-wave (GW) detector, together with a 40-km Cosmic Explorer detector in the US, considering three scenarios for the…

Mass Transfer in Eccentric Orbits with Self-consistent Stellar Evolution Authors: Akira Rocha, Kyle ; Hur, Rachel ; Kalogera, Vicky ; Gossage, Seth ; Sun, Meng ; Doctor, Zoheyr ; Andrews, Jeff J. ; Bavera, Simone S. ; Briel, Max ; Fragos, Tassos ; Kovlakas, Konstantinos ; Kruckow, Matthias U. ; Misra, Devina ; Xing, Zepei…

Renormalized primordial black holes Authors: Franciolini, G. ; Ianniccari, A. ; Kehagias, A. ; Perrone, D. ; Riotto, A. Abstract: The formation of primordial black holes in the early universe may happen through the collapse of large curvature perturbations generated during a non-attractor phase of inflation or through a curvaton-like dynamics after inflation. The fact…

Flea on the elephant: Tidal Love numbers in subsolar primordial black hole searches Authors: De Luca, Valerio ; Franciolini, Gabriele ; Riotto, Antonio. Abstract: Detecting subsolar objects in black hole binary mergers is considered a smoking gun signature of primordial black holes. Their supposedly vanishing tidal Love number is generically thought to help distinguish them…

The rates and host galaxies of pair-instability supernovae through cosmic time: predictions from BPASS and IllustrisTNG Authors: Briel, Max M. ; Metha, Benjamin ; Eldridge, Jan J. ; Moriya, Takashi J. ; Trenti, Michele. Abstract: Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) have long been predicted to be the final fates of near-zero-metallicity very massive stars (Z<Z⊙/3, MZAMS≳140M⊙). However,…

Primordial black holes and their gravitational-wave signatures Authors: Eleni Bagui, Sebastien Clesse, Valerio De Luca, Jose María Ezquiaga, Gabriele Franciolini, Juan García-Bellido, Cristian Joana, Rajeev Kumar Jain, Sachiko Kuroyanagi, Ilia Musco, Theodoros Papanikolaou, Alvise Raccanelli, Sébastien Renaux-Petel, Antonio Riotto, Ester Ruiz Morales, Marco Scalisi, Olga Sergijenko, Caner Unal, Vincent Vennin, David Wands. Abstract: In the…
