James Healy, Pablo Laguna, Deirdre Shoemaker
TL;DR
This paper reveals a direct correlation between the gravitational wave frequency at peak amplitude and the final black hole's mass and spin, aiding gravitational wave data analysis.
Contribution
It identifies a new correlation that links gravitational wave features to the properties of the final black hole in mergers.
Findings
Correlation between peak gravitational wave frequency and final black hole parameters
Potential application in gravitational wave data analysis
Enhanced understanding of black hole merger signatures
Abstract
We demonstrate that in binary black hole mergers there is a direct correlation between the frequency of the gravitational wave at peak amplitude and the mass and spin of the final black hole. This correlation could potentially assist with the analysis of gravitational wave observations from binary black hole mergers.
