Environmental effects in stellar mass gravitational wave sources II: Enhanced detectability of phase shifts in eccentric sub-populations
Lorenz Zwick, Kai Hendriks, Pankaj Saini +4
We demonstrate that the properties of eccentric gravitational wave (GW) signals enhance the detectability of GW phase shifts caused by environmental effects (EEs): The signal-to-no…
Towards gravitational wave parameter inference for binaries with an eccentric companion
Kai Hendriks, Lorenz Zwick, Pankaj Saini +2
We introduce a complete model for dephasing due to line-of-sight acceleration (LOSA) in gravitational wave (GW) signals from stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs) in three-body sy…
Probing the Formation Environment of Strongly Lensed Black Hole Mergers: Implications for the AGN-disk Channel
Johan Samsing, Lorenz Zwick, Pankaj Saini +1
The observation of multiple images from a strongly lensed gravitational wave (GW) source provides the observer with a stereoscopic view of the source. This allows for a measure of…
Gravitational Wave Phase shifts of black hole mergers in AGN Disks
Hiromichi Tagawa, Connar Rowan, János Takátsy +4
Ground-based gravitational wave (GW) detectors have discovered about 200 compact object mergers. The astrophysical origins of these events are highly debated, and it is possible th…
