Analytic Waveforms for Eccentric Gravitational Wave Bursts
Nicholas Loutrel
We here present the first analytic effective fly-by (EFB) waveforms designed to accurately capture the burst of gravitational radiation from the closest approach of highly eccentri…
The Eccentric Behavior of Inspiraling Compact Binaries
Nicholas Loutrel, Samuel Liebersbach, Nicolas Yunes +1
Eccentricity of binary systems is not a gauge invariant quantity, but has an important impact on the observed gravitational wave signal of such systems, generating power in all pos…
A Fourier Domain Waveform for Non-Spinning Binaries with Arbitrary Eccentricity
Blake Moore, Travis Robson, Nicholas Loutrel +1
Although the gravitational waves observed by advanced LIGO and Virgo are consistent with compact binaries in a quasi-circular inspiral prior to coalescence, eccentric inspirals are…
Scalar Tops and Perturbed Quadrupoles: Probing Fundamental Physics with Spin-Precessing Binaries
Nicholas Loutrel, Takahiro Tanaka, Nicolas Yunes
Parity violation in the gravitational interaction has an important impact on fundamental observables and the evolution of the universe. We here investigate for the first time our a…
Spin-Precessing Black Hole Binaries in Dynamical Chern-Simons Gravity
Nicholas Loutrel, Takahiro Tanaka, Nicolas Yunes
Gravitational waves from spin-precessing binaries exhibit amplitude oscillations that provide an invaluable method to extract the spins of the inspiraling compact objects. The spin…
