Resumo

Binary population synthesis provides a direct way of studying the effects of different choices of binary evolution models and initial parameter distributions on present-day compact binary merger populations, which can then be compared to empirical properties such as observed merger rates. Samples of zero-age main sequence binaries to be evolved by such codes are typically generated from a universal initial mass function (IMF) and simple, uniform, distributions for orbital period P, mass ratio q, and eccentricity e. More recently, however, mounting observational evidence has suggested the non-universality of the IMF and the existence of correlations between binary parameters. In this study, we implement a metallicity- and redshift-dependent IMF alongside correlated distributions for P, q, and e to generate representative populations of binaries at varying redshifts, which are then evolved with the COMPAS code in order to study the variations in merger rates and overall population properties.
