Eccentric binary black holes: A new framework for numerical relativity waveform surrogates

Peter James Nee, Adhrit Ravichandran, Scott E. Field +17

Mounting evidence indicates that some of the gravitational wave signals observed by the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA observatories might arise from eccentric compact object binaries, increasin…

Chase Orbits, not Time: A Scalable Paradigm for Long-Duration Eccentric Gravitational-Wave Surrogates

Akash Maurya, Prayush Kumar, Scott E. Field +6

Orbital eccentricity is a key tracer of the astrophysical origins of compact binaries. Yet it remains absent from routine LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA analyses, in part because of the prohibit…
