The diverse outcomes of binary white dwarf mergers and connections to Galactic LISA sources -- White dwarf merger data
收藏资源简介:
This dataset contains all white dwarf merger data produced in Kremer et al. 2026. The four "WDmergers" tarballs contain all mergers for each Galactic population for the four COSMIC assumptions: fiducial, alpha25, alpha5, q3 (see publication for description of the different models). Each of these in turn contain 60 hdf files encompassing: Four white dwarf type combinations: 10_10, 11_10, 11_11, 12_10_12 Fifteen metallicity bins ranging from -2.3 < log10(Z/Zsolar) < 0.18 These data have already incorparated the metallicity-dependent star formation histories of galaxy m12i in the Latte suite of the FIRE-2 simulations, which is independently available for download. For further information, see Thiele et al. 2023, ApJ, 945, 162. We also include four additional "LISA_f3" tarballs, which include all white dwarf binaries at present-day with a gravitational wave frequency f_GW > 10^{-3} Hz. This is intended as a rough proxy for the total number of resolvable white dwarf binaries in the LISA band today. See Thiele et al. 2023 for a more detailed calculation computing the SNR of each of these sources.
