Constraining Population Synthesis Models via the Binary Neutron Star Population
The observed sample of double neutron-star (NS-NS) binaries presents a challenge to populationsynthesis models of compact object formation: the parameters entering into these models must be carefully chosen so as to match (i) the observed star formation rate and (ii) the formation rate of NS-NS binaries, which can be estimated from the observed sample and the selection effects related to the di...
متن کاملBeyond the Bench: Hunting Down Fugitive Literature
Background: When multiple endpoints are of interest in evidence synthesis, a multivariate meta-analysis can jointly synthesise those endpoints and utilise their correlation. A multivariate random-effects metaanalysis must incorporate and estimate the between-study correlation (ρB). Methods: In this paper we assess maximum likelihood estimation of a general normal model and a generalised model f...
متن کاملRelations between the covering and Newton radii of binary codes
The Newton radius of a code is the largest weight of a uniquely correctable error. The covering radius is the largest distance between a vector and the closest codeword. A couple of relations involving the Newton and covering radii are discussed. c © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملPopulation synthesis of wide binary millisecond pulsars
Four evolutionary channels leading to the formation of wide binary millisecond pulsars are investigated. The majority of binary millisecond pulsars are found to descend from systems in which the most massive component undergoes a common-envelope phase prior to the supernova explosion leading to the birth of the neutron star. The orbital period distribution of simulated samples of wide binary mi...
متن کاملBinary Population Synthesis: Methods, Normalization, and Surprises
In this paper we present a brief overview of population synthesis methods with a discussion of their main advantages and disadvantages. In the second part, we present some recent results from synthesis models of close binary compact objects with emphasis on the predicted rates, their uncertainties, and the model input parameters the rates are most sensitive to. We also report on a new evolution...
