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…

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…

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…

Dissecting environmental effects with eccentric gravitational wave sources

Lorenz Zwick, Kai Hendriks, David O'Neill +6

We model the effect of resonances between time-varying perturbative forces and the epi-cyclical motion of eccentric binaries in the gravitational wave (GW) driven regime. These ind…

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…

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…

Eccentric features in the gravitational wave phase of dynamically formed black hole binaries

Kai Hendriks, Lorenz Zwick, Johan Samsing

We study the gravitational wave (GW) phase shift arising from center-of-mass accelerations of binary black hole mergers formed dynamically in three-body systems, where both the inn…
