On the LISA science performance in observations of short-lived signals from massive black hole binary coalescences
Geraint Pratten, Antoine Klein, Christopher J. Moore +4
The observation of massive black hole binary systems is one of the main science objectives of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). The instrument's design requirements ha…
The Bardeen-Petterson effect, disk breaking, and the spin orientations of supermassive black-hole binaries
Nathan Steinle, Davide Gerosa
Supermassive black-hole binaries are driven to merger by dynamical friction, loss-cone scattering of individual stars, disk migration, and gravitational-wave emission. Two main for…
Mechanisms for high spin in black-hole neutron-star binaries and kilonova emission: inheritance and accretion
Nathan Steinle, Benjamin P. Gompertz, Matt Nicholl
A black-hole neutron-star binary merger can lead to an electromagnetic counterpart called a kilonova if the neutron star is disrupted prior to merger. The observability of a kilono…
Signatures of spin precession and nutation in isolated black-hole binaries
Nathan Steinle, Michael Kesden
The spin precession of binary black holes (BBHs) that originate from isolated high-mass binary stars is determined by the interplay of phenomena such as tides, winds, accretion, co…
Which black hole formed first? Mass-ratio reversal in massive binary stars from gravitational-wave data
Matthew Mould, Davide Gerosa, Floor S. Broekgaarden +1
Population inference of gravitational-wave catalogues is a useful tool to translate observations of black-hole mergers into constraints on compact-binary formation. Different forma…
Constraining black-hole binary spin precession and nutation with sequential prior conditioning
Daria Gangardt, Davide Gerosa, Michael Kesden +2
We investigate the detectability of sub-dominant spin effects in merging black-hole binaries using current gravitational-wave data. Using a phenomenological model that separates th…
