First- and second-generation black hole and neutron star mergers in 2+2 quadruples: population statistics

Recent detections of gravitational waves from mergers of neutron stars (NSs) and black holes (BHs) in the low- and high-end mass gap regimes pose a puzzle to standard stellar and binary evolution theory. Mass-gap mergers may originate from successive mergers in hierarchical systems such as quadruple...
