Black-hole ringdown with templates capturing spin precession: A reanalysis of GW190521
Chiara Anselmo, Costantino Pacilio, Davide Gerosa
The ringdown stage of a binary black-hole merger provides a clean probe of strong-field gravity, as it can be modeled with minimal assumptions. The quasi-normal-mode frequencies en…
Impact of facility timing and coordination for next-generation gravitational-wave detectors
Ssohrab Borhanian, Arianna Renzini, Philippa S. Cole +3
While the Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer proposals for next-generation, ground-based detectors promise vastly improved sensitivities to gravitational-wave signals, only joi…
Accelerated inference of binary black-hole populations from the stochastic gravitational-wave background
G. Giarda, A. I. Renzini, C. Pacilio +1
Third-generation ground-based gravitational wave detectors are expected to observe of overlapping signals per year from a multitude of astrophysical sources tha…
Ringdown mode amplitudes of precessing binary black holes
Francesco Nobili, Swetha Bhagwat, Costantino Pacilio +1
The ringdown phase of a binary black-hole merger encodes key information about the remnant properties and provides a direct probe of the strong-field regime of General Relativity.…
Taming systematics in distance and inclination measurements with gravitational waves: role of the detector network and higher-order modes
Adriano Frattale Mascioli, Francesco Crescimbeni, Costantino Pacilio +2
Gravitational-wave (GW) observations of compact binaries have the potential to unlock several remarkable applications in astrophysics, cosmology, and nuclear physics through accura…
Which is which? Identification of the two compact objects in gravitational-wave binaries
Davide Gerosa, Viola De Renzis, Federica Tettoni +3
Compact objects observed in gravitational-wave astronomy so far always come in pairs and never individually. Identifying the two components of a binary system is a delicate operati…
