A Model-Independent Framework for Gravitational-Wave Reconstruction of Binary Black Hole Hyperbolic Encounters in Ground-Based Interferometers
Peter Lott, Heleen Amedi, Jay Graves +3
Binary black hole hyperbolic encounters represent a dynamical interaction in which two black holes undergo a close fly-by, emitting gravitational-wave bremsstrahlung in the form of…

Parameter estimation of gravitational waves from hyperbolic black hole encounters
Chad Henshaw, Jacob Lange, Peter Lott +2
Systems of two black holes with unbound orbits can produce a diverse array of gravitational wave signals with rich morphology. This parameter space encompasses both hyperbolic orbi…

Scattering of stellar-mass black holes and gravitational wave bremsstrahlung radiation in AGN disks
Peter Lott, Christian Faulhaber, Joshua Brandt +3
Dynamics of stellar mass black holes (sBHs) embedded in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) could produce highly eccentric orbits near the central supermassive black hole, leading to rep…
