Dynamical Formation of the GW190814 Merger

Authors: Manuel Arca Sedda

2021 The Astrophysical Journal Letters 908 L38.

Provider: AAS Journals

Caption: Figure 2.

Formation of a GW190814 prototype in one of our models (Z = 0.02, σ = 15 km s⁻¹). During the scattering, the NS swaps with the star (ST), which is ejected away, leading to the formation of a highly eccentric binary with merging time t_GW ≲ 1.3 Gyr.
