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…

Missing black holes in brightest cluster galaxies as evidence for the occurrence of superkicks in nature
Davide Gerosa, Alberto Sesana
We investigate the consequences of superkicks on the population of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the Universe residing in brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). There is strong o…

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 …
