A parametrized test of general relativity for inspiralling eccentric binaries in LISA

Pankaj Saini, Sylvain Marsat, Lorenz Zwick +2

The space-based detector Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will observe inspiralling black hole binaries in the mHz band, many of which may retain orbital eccentricity. In…

Orbital eccentricity can make neutron star g-mode resonances observable with current gravitational-wave detectors

János Takátsy, Lorenz Zwick, Pankaj Saini +1

Dynamical tides can provide us vital information about the properties of neutron star (NS) matter. This is particularly true for g-modes, whose frequency and tidal coupling are hig…

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…

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…

Importance of relativistic pericenter precession in identifying the presence of a third body near eccentric binaries

Pankaj Saini, Lorenz Zwick, János Takátsy +5

Many astrophysical processes can produce gravitational wave (GW) sources with significant orbital eccentricity. These binaries emit bursts of gravitational radiation during each pe…

The construction and use of dephasing prescriptions for environmental effects in gravitational wave astronomy

János Takátsy, Lorenz Zwick, Kai Hendriks +3

In the first part of this work, we provide a curated overview of the theoretical framework necessary for incorporating dephasing due to environmental effects (EE) in gravitational…

Environmental effects in stellar mass gravitational wave sources I: Expected fraction of signals with significant dephasing in the dynamical and AGN channels

Lorenz Zwick, János Takátsy, Pankaj Saini +5

We present the first overview of the expected quantity of signals which will showcase significant gravitational wave phase shifts caused by astrophysical environments, considering…

Constraining Proper Motion of Strongly Lensed Eccentric Binary Mergers using Doppler Triangulation

Johan Samsing, Lorenz Zwick, Pankaj Saini +5

Strong lensing of gravitational wave (GW) sources allows the observer to see the GW source from different lines-of-sight (LOS) through the corresponding images, which provides a wa…

Prompt gravitational-wave mergers aided by gas in Active Galactic Nuclei: The hydrodynamics of binary-single black hole scatterings

Connar Rowan, Henry Whitehead, Gaia Fabj +4

Black hole binary systems embedded in AGN discs have been proposed as a source of the observed gravitational waves (GWs) from LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA. Studies have indicated binary-single…

Measuring the Transverse Velocity of Strongly Lensed Gravitational Wave Sources with Ground Based Detectors

Johan Samsing, Lorenz Zwick, Pankaj Saini +7

Observations of strongly gravitationally lensed gravitational wave (GW) sources provide a unique opportunity for constraining their transverse motion, which otherwise is exceedingl…

Large Gravitational Wave Phase Shifts from Strong 3-body Interactions in Dense Stellar Clusters

Kai Hendriks, Dany Atallah, Miguel Martinez +6

The phase evolution of gravitational waves (GWs) can be modulated by the astrophysical environment surrounding the source, which provides a probe for the origin of individual binar…
