The modeling of spin-precession and orbital eccentricity in gravitational-wave (GW) signals is crucial for understanding the astrophysical formation of compact binaries and ensuring that GW detector data is explored fully and without biases. However, describing these effects accurately and efficiently remains a challenge. In this talk, I will present pyEFPE, a frequency-domain post-Newtonian...
The first three observing runs of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration have led to the detection of over 90 gravitational wave (GW) events from compact object binaries, but understanding their formation channels still remains an open question in GW astrophysics. While most inspiraling binaries detected by ground-based detectors likely form through isolated binary evolution and are expected...
A non-negligible population of binary black holes (BBHs) forming dynamically in active astrophysical environments is predicted to radiate graviational waves (GWs)
in the frequency band of ground-based LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA (LVK) GW detectors. Thus, strong evidence for orbital eccentricity in GW detections will play a pivotal role in unveiling the astrophysical origins of BBH mergers. Despite...
We address the challenge to evaluate the response of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) in an accurate and computationally efficient way.
Without approximations, the full LISA response is computationally expensive and traditional approaches, such as the long-wavelength approximation, accelerate the response calculation at the cost of reducing accuracy at high frequencies. Here we...
