Effective potentials and morphological transitions for binary black-hole spin precession
Michael Kesden, Davide Gerosa, Richard O'Shaughnessy +2
We derive an effective potential for binary black-hole (BBH) spin precession at second post-Newtonian order. This effective potential allows us to solve the orbit-averaged spin-pre…

Distinguishing black-hole spin-orbit resonances by their gravitational-wave signatures
Davide Gerosa, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Michael Kesden +2
If binary black holes form following the successive core collapses of sufficiently massive binary stars, precessional dynamics may align their spins and …
