GW190521: the most massive binary black hole merger to date
On 2020 September 2, the LIGO Virgo collaboration has published the discovery of GW190521, the most massive binary black hole merger observed with gravitational waves
Binary black holes in young star clusters: the impact of metallicity
The metallicity of the progenitor star plays a crucial role in shaping the mass of a black hole. Our new study shows that this holds
The cosmic merger rate density of binary compact objects: star clusters vs the isolated binaries
Next-generation ground-based gravitational wave detectors (Einstein Telescope in Europe and Cosmic Explorer in the US) will probe binary black hole mergers up to redshift 10
GW190412: The first unequal-mass binary black hole
Here is the first published BBH from O3: GW190412. GW190412 is the first BBH merger for which we can undoubtedly say that the masses of
