Looking for the parents of LIGO's black holes
Vishal Baibhav, Emanuele Berti, Davide Gerosa +2
Solutions to the two-body problem in general relativity allow us to predict the mass, spin and recoil velocity of a black-hole merger remnant given the masses and spins of its bina…
Testing general relativity with gravitational-wave catalogs: the insidious nature of waveform systematics
Christopher J. Moore, Eliot Finch, Riccardo Buscicchio +1
Gravitational-wave observations of binary black holes allow new tests of general relativity to be performed on strong, dynamical gravitational fields. These tests require accurate…
A taxonomy of black-hole binary spin precession and nutation
Daria Gangardt, Nathan Steinle, Michael Kesden +2
Binary black holes with misaligned spins will generically induce both precession and nutation of the orbital angular momentum about the total angular momentum . Th…
Eccentric binary black hole surrogate models for the gravitational waveform and remnant properties: comparable mass, nonspinning case
Tousif Islam, Vijay Varma, Jackie Lodman +6
We develop new strategies to build numerical relativity surrogate models for eccentric binary black hole systems, which are expected to play an increasingly important role in curre…
Up-down instability of binary black holes in numerical relativity
Vijay Varma, Matthew Mould, Davide Gerosa +3
Binary black holes with spins that are aligned with the orbital angular momentum do not precess. However, post-Newtonian calculations predict that "up-down" binaries, in which the…
A generalized precession parameter to interpret gravitational-wave data
Davide Gerosa, Matthew Mould, Daria Gangardt +3
Originally designed for waveform approximants, the effective precession parameter is the most commonly used quantity to characterize spin-precession effects in gravi…
