Constraining Population Synthesis Models via Empirical Binary Compact Object Merger and Supernovae Rates
The observed samples of supernovae (SN) and double compact objects (DCOs) provide several critical constraints on population-synthesis models: the parameters of these models must be carefully chosen to reproduce, among other factors, (i) the formation rates of double neutron star (NS-NS) binaries and of white dwarf-neutron star (WD-NS) binaries, estimated from binary samples, and (ii) the type ...
متن کاملFallback accretion in the aftermath of a compact binary merger
Recent observations of long and short gamma-ray bursts have revealed a puzzling X-ray activity that in some cases continuous until hours after the burst. It is difficult to reconcile such time scales with the viscous time scales that an accretion disk can plausibly provide. Here I discuss the accretion activity expected from the material that during a compact binary merger coalescence is launch...
متن کاملCompact Binary Mergers and Accretion-Induced Collapse: Event Rates
This paper is a brief review of the topic of binary systems as sources of gravitational-wave emission for both LIGO and LISA. In particular I review the current estimates of the associated Galactic event rates and their implications for expected detection rates. I discuss the estimates for (i) the coalescence of close binaries containing neutron stars or black holes, (ii) white dwarfs going thr...
متن کاملBinary Compact Object Coalescence Rates: the Role of Elliptical Galaxies
In this paper we estimate binary compact object merger detection rates for LIGO, including the potentially significant contribution from binaries that are produced in elliptical galaxies near the epoch of peak star formation. Specifically, we convolve hundreds of model realizations of ellipticaland spiralgalaxy population syntheses with a model for ellipticaland spiral-galaxy star formation his...
متن کاملFingerprint of a Binary Merger
Supernova 1987A, which was the first naked-eye supernova since Kepler’s supernova in 1604. It was an unusual supernova that in many respects defied theoretical expectations. It has long been suspected that these anomalies were the result of the merger of two massive stars some 20,000 years before the explosion, but so far there has been no conclusive proof. Here we present threedimensional hydr...
