Population synthesis studies of binary black-hole mergers often lack robust black-hole spin estimates as they cannot accurately follow tidal spin-up during the late black-hole-Wolf-Rayet evolutionary phase. We provide an analytical approximation of the dimensionless second-born black-hole spin given the binary orbital period and Wolf-Rayet stellar mass at helium depletion or carbon depletion. These approximations are obtained from fitting a sample of around $10^5$ detailed MESA simulations that follow the evolution and spin up of close black-hole--Wolf-Rayet systems with metallicities in the range $[10^{-4},1.5Z_odot]$. Following the potential spin up of the Wolf-Rayet progenitor, the second-born black-hole spin is calculated using up-to-date core collapse prescriptions that account for any potential disk formation in the collapsing Wolf-Rayet star. The fits for second-born black hole spin provided in this work can be readily applied to any astrophysical modeling that relies on rapid population synthesis, and will be useful for the interpretation of gravitational-wave sources using such models.

The recently discovered burst of gravitational waves GW150914 provides a good new chance to verify the current view on the evolution of close binary stars. Modern population synthesis codes help to study this evolution from two main sequence stars up to the formation of two final remnant degenerate dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes [Massevich 1988]. To study the evolution of the GW150914 predecessor we use the Scenario Machine code presented by [Lipunov 1996]. The scenario modelling conducted in this study allowed to describe the evolution of systems for which the final stage is a massive BH+BH merger. We find that the initial mass of the primary component can be $100div 140 M_{odot}$ and the initial separation of the components can be $50div 350 R_{odot}$. Our calculations show the plausibility of modern evolutionary scenarios for binary stars and the population synthesis modelling based on it.
In this paper we propose the model that the coalescence of primordial black holes (PBHs) binaries with equal mass $M sim 10^{28}$g can emit luminous gigahertz (GHz) radio transient, which may be candidate sources for the observed fast radio bursts (F RBs), if at least one black hole holds appropriate amount of net electric charge $Q$. Using a dimensionless quantity for the charge $q = Q/sqrt{G}M$, our analyses infer that $qsim O(10^{-4.5})$ can explain the FRBs with released energy of order $O(10^{40}) {rm ergs}$. With the current sample of FRBs and assuming a distribution of charge $phi(q)$ for all PBHs, we can deduce that its form is proportional to $q^{-3.0pm0.1}$ for $qgeq 7.2times10^{-5}$ if PBHs are sources of the observed FRBs. Furthermore, with the proposed hypothetical scenario and by estimating the local event rate of FRBs $sim 2.6 times 10^3 {rm Gpc}^{-3} {rm yr}^{-1}$, one derives a lower bound for the fraction of PBHs (at the mass of $10^{28}$g) against that of matter $f_{rm PBH}(10^{28}{rm g})$ $gtrsim 10^{-5}$ needed to explain the rate. With this inspiring estimate, we expect that future observations of FRBs can help to falsify their physical origins from the PBH binaries coalescences. In the future, the gravitational waves produced by mergers of small black holes can be detected by high frequency gravitational wave detectors. We believe that this work would be a useful addition to the current literature on multimessenger astronomy and cosmology.
The transformation of powerful gravitational waves, created by the coalescence of massive black hole binaries, into electromagnetic radiation in external magnetic fields is revisited. In contrast to the previous calculations of the similar effect, we study the realistic case of the gravitational radiation frequency below the plasma frequency of the surrounding medium. The gravitational waves propagating in the plasma constantly create electromagnetic radiation dragging it with them, despite the low frequency. The plasma heating by the unattenuated electromagnetic wave may be significant in a hot rarefied plasma with strong magnetic field and can lead to a noticeable burst of electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency. The graviton-to-photon conversion effect in plasma is discussed in the context of possible electromagnetic counterparts of GW150914 and GW170104.
Pulsar Timing Arrays are a prime tool to study unexplored astrophysical regimes with gravitational waves. Here we show that the detection of gravitational radiation from individually resolvable super-massive black hole binary systems can yield direct information about the masses and spins of the black holes, provided that the gravitational-wave induced timing fluctuations both at the pulsar and at the Earth are detected. This in turn provides a map of the non-linear dynamics of the gravitational field and a new avenue to tackle open problems in astrophysics connected to the formation and evolution of super-massive black holes. We discuss the potential, the challenges and the limitations of these observations.
The LIGO/Virgo gravitational-wave (GW) interferometers have to-date detected ten merging black hole (BH) binaries, some with masses considerably larger than had been anticipated. Stellar-mass BH binaries at the high end of the observed mass range (wi th chirp mass ${cal M} gtrsim 25 M_{odot}$) should be detectable by a space-based GW observatory years before those binaries become visible to ground-based GW detectors. This white paper discusses some of the synergies that result when the same binaries are observed by instruments in space and on the ground. We consider intermediate-mass black hole binaries (with total mass $M sim 10^2 -10^4 M_{odot}$) as well as stellar-mass black hole binaries. We illustrate how combining space-based and ground-based data sets can break degeneracies and thereby improve our understanding of the binarys physical parameters. While early work focused on how space-based observatories can forecast precisely when some mergers will be observed on the ground, the reverse is also important: ground-based detections will allow us to dig deeper into archived, space-based data to confidently identify black hole inspirals whose signal-to-noise ratios were originally sub-threshold, increasing the number of binaries observed in both bands by a factor of $sim 4 - 7$.
