Applying higher-modes consistency test on GW190814 : lessons on no-hair theorem, nature of the secondary compact object and waveform modeling
Tousif Islam
As one of the consequences of the black-hole "no-hair" theorem in general relativity (GR), the multipolar structure of the radiation (i.e. different spherical harmonic modes) from…
Survey of gravitational wave memory in intermediate mass ratio binaries
Tousif Islam, Scott E. Field, Gaurav Khanna +1
The non-linear gravitational wave (GW) memory effect is a distinct prediction in general relativity. While the effect has been well studied for comparable mass binaries, it has mos…
High-precision source characterization of intermediate mass-ratio black hole coalescences with gravitational waves: The importance of higher-order multipoles
Tousif Islam, Scott E. Field, Carl-Johan Haster +1
Intermediate mass ratio inspiral (IMRI) binaries -- containing stellar-mass black holes coalescing into intermediate-mass black holes () -- are a highly anticipated…
Eccentric binary black hole surrogate models for the gravitational waveform and remnant properties: comparable mass, nonspinning case
Tousif Islam, Vijay Varma, Jackie Lodman +6
We develop new strategies to build numerical relativity surrogate models for eccentric binary black hole systems, which are expected to play an increasingly important role in curre…
