Up-down instability of binary black holes in numerical relativity
Vijay Varma, Matthew Mould, Davide Gerosa +3
Binary black holes with spins that are aligned with the orbital angular momentum do not precess. However, post-Newtonian calculations predict that "up-down" binaries, in which the…
A generalized precession parameter to interpret gravitational-wave data
Davide Gerosa, Matthew Mould, Daria Gangardt +3
Originally designed for waveform approximants, the effective precession parameter is the most commonly used quantity to characterize spin-precession effects in gravi…
Mapping the asymptotic inspiral of precessing binary black holes to their merger remnants
Luca Reali, Matthew Mould, Davide Gerosa +1
Multiple approaches are required to study the evolution of black-hole binaries. While the post-Newtonian approximation is sufficient to describe the early inspiral (even from infin…
The mass gap, the spin gap, and the origin of merging binary black holes
Vishal Baibhav, Davide Gerosa, Emanuele Berti +3
Two of the dominant channels to produce the black-hole binary mergers observed by LIGO and Virgo are believed to be the isolated evolution of stellar binaries in the field and dyna…
Endpoint of the up-down instability in precessing binary black holes
Matthew Mould, Davide Gerosa
Binary black holes in which both spins are aligned with the binary's orbital angular momentum do not precess. However, the up-down configuration, in which the spin of the heavier (…
