Probing modified gravitational-wave dispersion with bursts from eccentric black-hole binaries

Nicholas Loutrel, Ava Bailey, Davide Gerosa

Gravitational waves in general relativity are non-dispersive, yet a host of modified theories predict dispersion effects during propagation. In this work, we consider the impact of…

PRECESSION 2.1: black-hole binary spin precession on eccentric orbits

Giulia Fumagalli, Davide Gerosa, Nicholas Loutrel

We present version 2.1 of the public code {\sc precession}, a Python module for studying the post-Newtonian dynamics of precessing black hole binaries. In this release, we extend t…

Non-adiabatic dynamics of eccentric black-hole binaries in post-Newtonian theory

Giulia Fumagalli, Nicholas Loutrel, Davide Gerosa +1

Eccentric black-hole binaries are among the most awaited sources of gravitational waves, yet their dynamics lack a consistent framework that provides a detailed and physically robu…

Orbital eccentricity in general relativity from catastrophe theory

Matteo Boschini, Nicholas Loutrel, Davide Gerosa +1

While the orbital eccentricity is a key feature of the gravitational two-body problem, providing an unambiguous definition in general relativity poses significant challenges. Despi…

Inferring Interference: Identifying a Perturbing Tertiary with Eccentric Gravitational Wave Burst Timing

Isobel M. Romero-Shaw, Nicholas Loutrel, Michael Zevin

[Abridged] Binary black holes may form and merge dynamically. These binaries are likely to become bound with high eccentricities, resulting in a burst of gravitational radiation at…
