Probing the progenitors of spinning binary black-hole mergers with long gamma-ray bursts Auteurs Bavera, Fragos, Zapartas et al. (2022) Abstract: Long-duration gamma-ray bursts are thought to be associated with the core-collapse of massive, rapidly spinning stars and the formation of black holes. However, efficient angular momentum transport in stellar interiors, currently supported by asteroseismic and…

Stochastic gravitational-wave background as a tool for investigating multi-channel astrophysical and primordial black-hole mergers Auteurs: Bavera, Fragos, Zapartas et al. (2022)   Abstract: The formation of merging binary black holes can occur through multiple astrophysical channels such as, e.g., isolated binary evolution and dynamical formation or, alternatively, have a primordial origin. Increasingly large gravitational-wave catalogs…
