Predictions of a simple parametric model of hierarchical black hole mergers
Parthapratim Mahapatra, Debatri Chattopadhyay, Anuradha Gupta +3
Hierarchical mergers of black holes are proposed as a mechanism to explain the observations of binary black holes with component masses between $\sim 50M_{\odot}\hbox{--}130M_{\odo…

Testing general relativity via direct measurement of black hole kicks
Parthapratim Mahapatra, Marc Favata, K. G. Arun
Asymmetric emission of gravitational waves during a compact binary coalescence results in the loss of linear momentum and a corresponding "kick" or recoil on the binary's center of…

Octupolar test of general relativity
Parthapratim Mahapatra
Compact binaries with unequal masses and whose orbits are not aligned with the observer's line of sight are excellent probes of gravitational radiation beyond the quadrupole approx…
