Eccentricity as a Magnifying Glass: Precision Population Inference Enabled by Eccentric Neutron Star-Black Hole Mergers
Alberto Salvarese, Hsin-Yu Chen, Aaron Zimmerman +1
The formation history of compact binary systems remains one of the key open questions in astrophysics. Theoretical studies generally favor isolated binary evolution for neutron sta…
Impact of eccentricity and higher-modes on neutron star-black hole parameter estimation
Snehal Tibrewal, Aasim Jan, Aaron Zimmerman +1
Detections of gravitational waves from neutron star-black hole systems provide avenues for studying extreme matter, constraining binary formation channels, and testing the nature o…
Misinterpreting Spin Precession as Orbital Eccentricity in Gravitational-Wave Signals
Snehal Tibrewal, Aaron Zimmerman, Jacob Lange +1
The increasing scope and breadth of gravitational wave detectors is providing the opportunity to explore new parameters in gravitational-wave astronomy. Eccentricity and spin-prece…
Revisiting GW150914 with a non-planar, eccentric waveform model
Rossella Gamba, Jacob Lange, Danilo Chiaramello +2
The first direct detection of gravitational waves by the LIGO collaboration, GW150914, marked the start of a new exciting era in astronomy, enabling the study of the Universe throu…
