Direct current memory effects in effective-one-body waveform models

Elisa Grilli, Andrea Placidi, Simone Albanesi +2

The direct current (DC) memory is a non-oscillatory, hereditary component of the gravitational wave (GW) signal that represents one of the most peculiar manifestations of the nonli…
