Distinct spin properties and astrophysical origin of low mass binary black holes in gravitational wave data
Elizabeth Flanagan, Jakob Stegmann, Isobel Romero-Shaw +3
We analyze the effective-spin distribution of binary black hole mergers in GWTC-5.0 as a function of primary black hole mass using hierarchical Bayesian inference. We model the pop…
Transitions in the Mass-ratio and Spin Properties of Binary Black Holes in GWTC-5
Elizabeth Flanagan, Fabio Antonini, Thomas Callister +4
We analyze the mass-ratio and effective-spin () distributions of binary black hole mergers in the latest gravitational-wave catalog, GWTC-5, as a function of primary m…
A universal framework to identify eccentric binary mergers: GW200105 case study
Teagan A. Clarke, Isobel M. Romero-Shaw, Charlie Hoy +3
Orbital eccentricity in gravitational-wave signals from merging compact object binaries is a powerful indicator of their formation channel. Several binary black hole mergers and a…
The Universal Eccentricity Distribution for Dynamical Gravitational-Wave Merger Channels
Mor Rozner, Teagan A. Clarke, Isobel M. Romero-Shaw +1
We argue that all dynamical astrophysical black hole merger channels are expected to result in a common eccentricity distribution at gravitational wave (GW) frequencies relevant fo…
Astrophysical Implications of Eccentricity in Gravitational Waves from Neutron Star-Black Hole Binaries
Isobel Romero-Shaw, Jakob Stegmann, Gonzalo Morras +2
The gravitational-wave signal from the neutron star-black hole (NSBH) merger GW200105 is consistent with this binary having significant orbital eccentricity close to merger. This r…
A subpopulation of low-mass, spinning black holes: signatures of dynamical assembly
Hui Tong, Thomas A. Callister, Maya Fishbach +5
Gravitational-wave observations of massive, rapidly spinning binary black holes mergers provide increasing evidence for the dynamical origin of some mergers. Previous studies have…
