Compact Binary Merger Rates: Comparison with LIGO/Virgo Upper Limits
Krzysztof Belczynski, Serena Repetto, Daniel E. Holz +5
We compare evolutionary predictions of double compact object merger rate densities with initial and forthcoming LIGO/Virgo upper limits. We find that: (i) Due to the cosmological r…
A semianalytic Fisher matrix for precessing binaries with a single significant spin
R. O'Shaughnessy, P. Nepal, A. Lundgren
Gravitational waves from a binary with a single dynamically significant spin, notably including precessing black hole-neutron star (BH-NS) binaries, let us constrain that binary's…
Distinguishing black-hole spin-orbit resonances by their gravitational wave signatures. II: Full parameter estimation
Daniele Trifirò, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Davide Gerosa +4
Gravitational waves from coalescing binary black holes encode the evolution of their spins prior to merger. In the post-Newtonian regime and on the precession timescale, this evolu…
Rapid gravitational wave parameter estimation with a single spin: Systematic uncertainties in parameter estimation with the SpinTaylorF2 approximation
Brandon Miller, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Tyson B. Littenberg +1
Reliable low-latency gravitational wave parameter estimation is essential to target limited electromagnetic followup facilities toward astrophysically interesting and electromagnet…
Precessional instability in binary black holes with aligned spins
Davide Gerosa, Michael Kesden, Richard O'Shaughnessy +4
Binary black holes on quasicircular orbits with spins aligned with their orbital angular momentum have been testbeds for analytic and numerical relativity for decades, not least be…
Multi-timescale analysis of phase transitions in precessing black-hole binaries
Davide Gerosa, Michael Kesden, Ulrich Sperhake +2
The dynamics of precessing binary black holes (BBHs) in the post-Newtonian regime has a strong timescale hierarchy: the orbital timescale is very short compared to the spin-precess…
