Search for Eccentric Black Hole Coalescences during the Third Observing Run of LIGO and Virgo
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, A. Abac, R. Abbott, H. Abe et autres
Despite the growing number of confident binary black hole coalescences observed through gravitational waves so far, the astrophysical origin of these binaries remains uncertain. Orbital eccentricity is one of the clearest tracers of binary formation channels. Identifying binary eccentricity, however, remains challenging …
