Unified remnant models for aligned-spin, precessing, and eccentric binary black hole mergers

Tousif Islam, Digvijay Wadekar, Gaurav Khanna

Using approximately numerical-relativity (NR) simulations spanning mass ratios up to and black-hole-perturbation-theory (BHPT) simulations extending to $q=100…

Recoil kicks from binary black hole mergers in GWTC catalogs: implications for retention and hierarchical mergers

Tousif Islam

We infer recoil (kick) velocities for both individual binary black hole (BBH) mergers and candidate intermediate-mass black hole events, as well as for the BBH populations inferred…

Progenitor of the recoiling super-massive black hole RBH-1 identified using HST/JWST imaging

Tousif Islam, Tejaswi Venumadhav, Digvijay Wadekar

Using a combination of \textit{Hubble Space Telescope} and \textit{James Webb Space Telescope} imaging, a runaway supermassive black hole (RBH-1) was recently identified with an in…

Accurate models for recoil velocity distribution in black hole mergers with comparable to extreme mass-ratios and their astrophysical implications

Tousif Islam, Digvijay Wadekar

Modeling the remnant recoil velocity (kick) distribution from binary black hole mergers is crucial for understanding hierarchical mergers in active galactic nuclei or globular clus…

Data-driven extraction, phenomenology and modeling of eccentric harmonics in binary black hole merger waveforms

Tousif Islam, Tejaswi Venumadhav, Ajit Kumar Mehta +6

Newtonian and post-Newtonian (PN) calculations suggest that each spherical harmonic mode of the gravitational waveforms (radiation) emitted by eccentric binaries can be further dec…
