Contribution of High–mass Black Holes to Mergers of Compact Binaries
We consider the merging of high-mass black-hole binaries of the Cyg X–1 type, in which the O–star companion becomes a neutron star following a supernova explosion. Our estimated rate of mergers, ∼ 2× 10yr for the Galaxy, is relatively low because of the paucity of high–mass black holes. None the less, because of their high masses, these black-hole, neutron-star binaries could contribute importa...
متن کاملPrompt Mergers of Neutron Stars with Black Holes
Mergers of neutron stars with black holes have been suggested as candidates for short gamma-ray bursts. They have also been studied for their potential as gravitational wave sources observable with ground-based detectors. For these purposes, it is important to know under what circumstances such a merger could leave an accretion disk or result in a period of stable mass transfer. We show that, c...
متن کاملEvolution of Close Binaries: Formation and Merger of Neutron Star Binaries
We discuss the formation and evolution of binaries which contain neutron stars or black holes. It is shown that in a stellar system which for 10 yr had star formation rate similar to the current one in the Galactic disc, the rate of neutron star mergers is ∼ 2 × 10 yr, consistent with the observational estimates. The rate of black hole and neutron star mergers is by an order of magnitude lower....
متن کاملEvolution of Black Holes in the Galaxy
In this article we consider the formation and evolution of black holes, especially those in binary stars where radiation from the matter falling on them can be seen. We consider a number of effects introduced by some of us, which are not traditionally included in binary evolution of massive stars. These are (i) hypercritical accretion, which allows neutron stars to accrete enough matter to coll...
متن کاملThe Lowest-mass Stellar Black Holes: Catastrophic Death of Neutron Stars in Gamma-ray Bursts
Mergers of double neutron stars are considered the most likely progenitors for short gamma-ray bursts. Indeed such a merger can produce a black hole with a transient accreting torus of nuclear matter (Lee & Ramirez-Ruiz 2007, Oechslin & Janka 2006), and the conversion of a fraction of the torus mass-energy to radiation can power a gamma-ray burst (Nakar 2006). Using available binary pulsar obse...
متن کاملCompact Binaries in Star Clusters I - Black Hole Binaries Inside Globular Clusters
We study the compact binary population in star clusters, focusing on binaries containing neutron stars and black holes, using a self-consistent Monte Carlo treatment of dynamics and full stellar evolution. We find that the black holes experience strong mass segregation and become centrally concentrated. In the core the black holes interact strongly with each other and black hole-black hole bina...
