Adding Gamma-ray Polarimetry to the Multi-Messenger Era Authors: Kole, Merlin; Iacovelli, Francesco; Mancarella, Michele; Produit, Nicolas (2022) Abstract: The last decade has seen the emergence of two new fields within astrophysics: gamma ray polarimetry and GW astronomy. The former, which aims to measure the polarization of gamma rays in the energy range of 10s to…

POSYDON: A General-Purpose Population Synthesis Code with Detailed Binary-Evolution Simulations Authors: Fragos, Andrews, Bavera, Berry, Coughlin, Dotter, Giri, Kalogera, Katsaggelos, Kovlakas, Lalvani, Misra, Srivastava, Qin, Rocha, Roman-Garza, Serra, Stahle, Sun, Teng, Trajcevski, Tran, Xing,Zapartas, Zevin (2022) Abstract: Most massive stars are members of a binary or a higher-order stellar systems, where the presence of a…

Forecasting the detection capabilities of third-generation gravitational-wave detectors using GWFAST Authors: Iacovelli, Mancarella, Foffa, Maggiore (2022) Abstract: GWFAST is a novel Fisher-matrix code for gravitational-wave studies, tuned toward third-generation gravitational-wave detectors such as Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer. The code is used to perform a comprehensive study of the capabilities of ET alone, and of…

The effective spin-redshift correlation of field binary black hole mergers and how 3G gravitational-wave detectors can constrain it Authors: Bavera, Fishbach, Zevin, Zapartas, Fragos (2022) Abstract: Understanding the origin of merging binary black holes is currently one of the most pressing quests in astrophysics. In this research article, we showed that if isolated binary evolution…

Probing the progenitors of spinning binary black-hole mergers with long gamma-ray bursts Authors: Bavera, Fragos, Zapartas et al. (2022) Abstract: Long-duration gamma-ray bursts are thought to be associated with the core-collapse of massive, rapidly spinning stars and the formation of black holes. However, efficient angular momentum transport in stellar interiors, currently supported by asteroseismic and…
