Query: Compact Remnant Mass Function: Dependence on the Explosion Mechanism and
  Metallicity   The mass distribution of neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes provides
vital clues into the nature of stellar core collapse and the physical engine
responsible for supernova explosions. Using recent advances in our
understanding of supernova engines, we derive mass distributions of stellar
compact remnants. We provide analytical prescriptions for compact object masses
for major population synthesis codes. In an accompanying paper, Belczynski et
al., we demonstrate that these qualitatively new results for compact objects
can explain the observed gap in the remnant mass distribution between ~2-5
solar masses and that they place strong constraints on the nature of the
supernova engine. Here, we show that advanced gravitational radiation detectors
(like LIGO/VIRGO or the Einstein Telescope) will be able to further test the
supernova explosion engine models once double black hole inspirals are
detected.
