Can Thorne-Zytkow objects source GW1908-14 type events?
ORAL
Abstract
We consider scenarios where a mass gap black hole is formed as the end state of a Thorne-Zytkow object: a red giant with a neutron star in its core. We estimate the rate for such mass gap objects to subsequently merge with a black hole.
