We review the main physical processes that lead to the formation of stellar binary black holes (BBHs) and to their merger. BBHs can form from the isolated evolution of massive binary stars. The physics of core-collapse supernovae and the process of common envelope are two of the main sources of uncertainty about this formation channel. Alternatively, two black holes can form a binary by dynamical encounters in a dense star cluster. The dynamical formation channel leaves several imprints on the mass, spin and orbital properties of BBHs.

Constraints on Line-of-Sight Acceleration from O1-O4
All known compact binary mergers show line-of-sight accelerations consistent with zero under a new time-domain Doppler-shift model, with current detectors only sensitive to high-acceleration scenarios.
-
Stable mass transfer in massive binaries leading to merging black holes
Stable mass transfer in massive binaries, modeled with the accreting star's altered structure, produces merging black holes matching LIGO/Virgo masses and spins.

Assessing the waveform systematics from parameter estimation to population inference with eccentricity
Eccentric waveform-model differences, small per event, accumulate across the GWTC-4 catalog and alter inferred redshift evolution and effective-spin population distributions.

A pipeline to search for signatures of line-of-sight acceleration in gravitational wave signals produced by compact binary coalescences
Line-of-sight acceleration phase corrections for gravitational waves are extended to aligned-spin and tidal binaries, and a pipeline with selection criteria is tested against several acceleration-mimicking effects.

Nowhere left to hide: revealing realistic gravitational-wave populations in high dimensions and high resolution with PixelPop
Modeling all significant correlations with the nonparametric model PixelPop recovers the true black-hole merger rate in a simulated 400-event gravitational-wave catalog, while simpler models introduce bias.
