Black-hole ringdown with templates capturing spin precession: A reanalysis of GW190521
Chiara Anselmo, Costantino Pacilio, Davide Gerosa
The ringdown stage of a binary black-hole merger provides a clean probe of strong-field gravity, as it can be modeled with minimal assumptions. The quasi-normal-mode frequencies en…

While the Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer proposals for next-generation, ground-based detectors promise vastly improved sensitivities to gravitational-wave signals, only joi…
Functional inference on deviations from General Relativity
Costantino Pacilio, Riccardo Buscicchio
Extensions of general relativity often predict modifications to gravitational waveform morphology that depend functionally on source parameters, such as the masses and spins of coa…

Forecasting the population properties of merging black holes
Viola De Renzis, Francesco Iacovelli, Davide Gerosa +2
Third-generation gravitational-wave detectors will observe up to millions of merging binary black holes. With such a vast dataset, stacking events into population analyses will arg…
Which is which? Identification of the two compact objects in gravitational-wave binaries
Davide Gerosa, Viola De Renzis, Federica Tettoni +3
Compact objects observed in gravitational-wave astronomy so far always come in pairs and never individually. Identifying the two components of a binary system is a delicate operati…
Flexible mapping of ringdown amplitudes for nonprecessing binary black holes
Costantino Pacilio, Swetha Bhagwat, Francesco Nobili +1
The remnant black hole from a binary coalescence emits ringdown gravitational waves characterized by quasinormal modes, which depend solely on the remnant's mass and spin. In contr…
