Spinformation: do gravitational-wave events carry information beyond effective spins?
Cailin Plunkett, Jack Heinzel, Noah E. Wolfe +2
While the spin vectors of binary black holes offer insight into the astrophysical formation channels of these systems, individual spins are less precisely measured through gravitat…
Binary-black hole spin population results may be driven by prior degeneracies
Noah E. Wolfe, Asad Hussain, Jack Heinzel +1
Gravitational waves carry information on the spins of merging binary-black holes. The orientations of their spins relative to their orbits ("tilts")---while challenging to measure-…
Measurement prospects for the pair-instability mass cutoff with gravitational waves
Matthew Mould, Jack Heinzel, Sofia Alvarez-Lopez +3
Pair-instability supernovae leave behind no compact remnants, resulting in a predicted gap in the distribution of stellar black-hole masses. Gravitational waves from binary black-h…
