A complete measurement of a black-hole recoil through higher-order gravitational-wave modes
Juan Calderón Bustillo, Samson H. W. Leong, Koustav Chandra
General relativity predicts that gravitational waves (GWs) carry linear momentum. Consequently, the remnant black hole of a black-hole merger can inherit a recoil velocity or ``kic…

Kicking time back in black-hole mergers: Ancestral masses, spins, birth recoils and hierarchical-formation viability of GW190521
Carlos Araújo Ãlvarez, Henry W. Y. Wong, Anna Liu +1
Pair-instability supernova (PISN) prevents black-hole formation from stellar collapse within the approximate mass range . However, such black holes may form h…
