| Abstract | Although gravitational wave (GW) instruments have been detecting the mergers of two compact objects (either black holes or neutron stars) for nearly a decade, there is still uncertainty about how these binary systems form and develop over time. A research collaboration between Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and the University of Arizona (UA) will investigate the formation of merging double compact objects by combining state-of-the-art population synthesis tools, used to model large populations |
