Distinguishing lensing and precessional modulation in binary black-hole inspiral waveforms

Tien N. Nguyen-Vo, Tamanjyot Singh, Benjamin McKallip +2

Binary black holes (BBHs) emit gravitational waves (GWs) as they inspiral towards merger. These GWs can be gravitationally lensed by large-scale structure along the line of sight,…

Detecting regular precession using a new gravitational waveform model directly parameterized by both precession amplitude and frequency

Tamanjyot Singh, Evangelos Stoikos, Saif Ali +3

Nearly 210 binary black hole (BBH) mergers have been observed by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network during its four observing runs. Generic BBHs are spinning, and their spins are misalig…

Identifying multiple images of gravitational-wave sources lensed by elliptical lensing potentials

Saif Ali, Michael Kesden, Lindsay King

Real astrophysical lenses typically lack axisymmetry, necessitating the study of gravitational-wave (GW) lensing by elliptical mass distributions to accurately assess detectability…

Distribution of orbital inclinations for tidal disruption events by Kerr black holes

Tamanjyot Singh, Michael Kesden

The Kerr metric that describes the spacetime of a spinning supermassive black hole (SMBH) is axisymmetric, implying that the nearly parabolic geodesics on which stars approach the…

Detectability of strongly lensed gravitational waves using model-independent image parameters

Saif Ali, Evangelos Stoikos, Evan Meade +2

Strong gravitational lensing of gravitational waves (GWs) occurs when the GWs from a compact binary system travel near a massive object. The mismatch between a lensed signal and un…

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…
