We present the results from a search for gravitational-wave transients associated with core-collapse
supernovae observed within a source distance of approximately 20 Mpc during the …

We introduce a value-added full-sky catalogue of galaxies, named as Galaxy List for the
Advanced Detector Era, or GLADE. The purpose of this catalogue is to (i) help identifications of …

The recent advanced LIGO detections of gravitational waves from merging binary black holes
enhance the prospect of exploring binary evolution via gravitational-wave observations of …

Pair instability (PI) and pulsational PI prevent the formation of black holes (BHs) with mass ≳60
M ⊙ from single star evolution. Here, we investigate the possibility that BHs with mass in …

… Blue error bar: BHB merger rate inferred from the LIGO O1 run (Abbott et al. 2016a). The
position of the data point along the x-axis (corresponding to tlb = 0.5 Gyr) is just for visualization …

… Here we focus on the method introduced by Belczynski et al. (2016a) (hereafter B16; see
appendix on method therein), as it was also used by C18 whose models we use in this study. …

We present an empirical approach for interpreting gravitational wave signals of binary black
hole mergers under the assumption that the underlying black hole population is sourced by …

The growing sample of LIGO–Virgo black holes (BHs) opens new perspectives for the study
of massive binary evolution. Here, we study the impact of mass accretion efficiency and …

With the recent release of the Second Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-2),
which introduced dozens of new detections, we are at a turning point of gravitational wave …

Coalescing compact binaries emitting gravitational wave (GW) signals, as recently detected
by the Advanced LIGO–Virgo network, constitute a population over the multidimensional …
