Eccentricity as a Magnifying Glass: Precision Population Inference Enabled by Eccentric Neutron Star-Black Hole Mergers

Alberto Salvarese, Hsin-Yu Chen, Aaron Zimmerman +1

The formation history of compact binary systems remains one of the key open questions in astrophysics. Theoretical studies generally favor isolated binary evolution for neutron sta…

Blind spots and biases: the dangers of ignoring eccentricity in gravitational-wave signals from binary black holes

Divyajyoti, Sumit Kumar, Snehal Tibrewal +2

Most gravitational wave (GW) events observed by the LIGO and Virgo detectors are consistent with mergers of binary black holes (BBHs) on quasi-circular orbits. However, some events…
