In a recent letter [N. V. Krishnendu et al., PRL 119, 091101 (2017)] we explored the possibility of probing the binary black hole nature of coalescing compact binaries, by measuring their spin-induced multipole moments, observed in advanced LIGO detectors. Coefficients characterizing the spin-induced multipole moments of Kerr black holes are predicted by the no-hair conjecture and appear in the gravitational waveforms through quadratic and higher order spin interactions and hence can be directly measured from gravitational wave observations. We assess the capabilities of the third-generation gravitational wave interferometers such as Cosmic Explorer and Einstein Telescope in carrying out such measurements and use them to test the binary black hole nature of observed binaries. In this paper, we extend the investigations of our previous work, by proposing to measure (a) spin-induced quadrupole effects, (b) simultaneous measurements of spin-induced quadrupole and octupole effects, in the context of the third-generation detectors. We find that, using third-generation detectors the symmetric combination of coefficients associated with spin-induced quadrupole moment of each binary component may be constrained to a value $leq 1.1$ while a similar combination of coefficients for spin-induced octupole moment may be constrained to $leq 2$, where both combinations take the value of 1 for a binary black hole system. Further, we consider two different binary black hole populations, as proxies of the population that will be observed by the third generation detectors, and obtain the resulting distribution of the spin-induced quadrupole coefficient. These estimates suggest that third-generation detectors can accurately constrain the first four multipole moments of the compact objects (mass, spin, quadrupole, and octupole) facilitating a thorough probe of their black hole nature.

[Abridged] We introduce an improved version of the Eccentric, Non-spinning, Inspiral-Gaussian-process Merger Approximant (ENIGMA) waveform model. We find that this ready-to-use model can: (i) produce physically consistent signals when sampling over 1 M samples chosen over the $m_{{1,,2}}in[5M_{odot},,50M_{odot}]$ parameter space, and the entire range of binary inclination angles; (ii) produce waveforms within 0.04 seconds from an initial gravitational wave frequency $f_{textrm{GW}} =15,textrm{Hz}$ and at a sample rate of 8192 Hz; and (iii) reproduce the physics of quasi-circular mergers. We utilize ENIGMA to compute the expected signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) distributions of eccentric binary black hole mergers assuming the existence of second and third generation gravitational wave detector networks that include the twin LIGO detectors, Virgo, KAGRA, LIGO-India, a LIGO-type detector in Australia, Cosmic Explorer, and the Einstein Telescope. In the context of advanced LIGO-type detectors, we find that the SNR of eccentric mergers is always larger than quasi-circular mergers for systems with $e_0leq0.4$ at $f_{textrm{GW}} =10,textrm{Hz}$, even if the timespan of eccentric signals is just a third of quasi-circular systems with identical total mass and mass-ratio. For Cosmic Explorer-type detector networks, we find that eccentric mergers have similar SNRs than quasi-circular systems for $e_0leq0.3$ at $f_{textrm{GW}} =10,textrm{Hz}$. Systems with $e_0sim0.5$ at $f_{textrm{GW}} =10,textrm{Hz}$ have SNRs that range between 50%-90% of the SNR produced by quasi-circular mergers, even if these eccentric signals are just between a third to a tenth the length of quasi-circular systems. For Einstein Telescope-type detectors, we find that eccentric mergers have similar SNRs than quasi-circular systems for $e_0leq0.4$ at $f_{textrm{GW}} =5,textrm{Hz}$.
According to the no-hair conjecture, a Kerr black hole (BH) is completely described by its mass and spin. In particular, the spin-induced quadrupole moment of a Kerr BH with mass $m$ and dimensionless spin $chi$ can be written as $Q=-kappa,m^3chi^2$, where $kappa_{rm BH}=1$. Thus by measuring the spin-induced quadrupole parameter $kappa$, we can test the binary black hole nature of compact binaries and distinguish them from binaries comprised of other exotic compact objects, as proposed in [N. V. Krishnendu et al., PRL 119, 091101 (2017)]. Here, we present a Bayesian framework to carry out this test where we measure the symmetric combination of individual spin-induced quadrupole moment parameters fixing the anti-symmetric combination to be zero. The analysis is restricted to the inspiral part of the signal as the spin-induced deformations are not modeled in the post-inspiral regime. We perform detailed simulations to investigate the applicability of this method for compact binaries of different masses and spins and also explore various degeneracies in the parameter space which can affect this test. We then apply this method to the gravitational wave events, GW151226 and GW170608 detected during the first and second observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. We find the two events to be consistent with binary black hole mergers in general relativity. By combining information from several more of such events in future, this method can be used to set constraints on the black hole nature of the population of compact binaries that are detected by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors.
We propose a novel method to test the binary black hole (BBH) nature of compact binaries detectable by gravitational wave (GW) interferometers and hence constrain the parameter space of other exotic compact objects. The spirit of the test lies in the no-hair conjecture for black holes where all properties of a black hole are characterised by the mass and the spin of the black hole. The method relies on observationally measuring the quadrupole moments of the compact binary constituents induced due to their spins. If the compact object is a Kerr black hole (BH), its quadrupole moment is expressible solely in terms of its mass and spin. Otherwise, the quadrupole moment can depend on additional parameters (such as equation of state of the object). The higher order spin effects in phase and amplitude of a gravitational waveform, which explicitly contains the spin-induced quadrupole moments of compact objects, hence uniquely encodes the nature of the compact binary. Thus we argue that an independent measurement of the spin-induced quadrupole moment of the compact binaries from GW observations can provide a unique way to distinguish binary BH systems from binaries consisting of exotic compact objects.
Binary black holes with misaligned spins will generically induce both precession and nutation of the orbital angular momentum $bf{L}$ about the total angular momentum $bf{J}$. These phenomena modulate the phase and amplitude of the gravitational wave s emitted as the binary inspirals to merger. We introduce a taxonomy of binary black-hole spin precession that encompasses all the known phenomenology, then present five new phenomenological parameters that describe generic precession and constitute potential building blocks for future gravitational waveform models. These are the precession amplitude $langletheta_Lrangle$, the precession frequency $langle Omega_Lrangle$, the nutation amplitude $Deltatheta_L$, the nutation frequency $omega$, and the precession-frequency variation $DeltaOmega_L$. We investigate the evolution of these five parameters during the inspiral and explore their statistical properties for sources with isotropic spins. In particular, we find that nutation of $bf{L}$ is most prominent for binaries with high spins ($chi gtrsim 0.5$) and moderate mass ratios ($q sim 0.6$).
The third release of the RIT public catalog of numerical relativity black-hole-binary waveforms url{http://ccrg.rit.edu/~RITCatalog} consists of 777 accurate simulations that include 300 precessing and 477 nonprecessing binary systems with mass ratio s $q=m_1/m_2$ in the range $1/15leq qleq1$ and individual spins up to $s/m^2=0.95$. The catalog also provides initial parameters of the binary, trajectory information, peak radiation, and final remnant black hole properties. The waveforms are corrected for the center of mass drifting and are extrapolated to future null infinity. We successfully test this correction comparing with simulations of low radition content initial data. As an initial application of this waveform catalog we reanalyze all the peak radiation and remnant properties to find new, simple, correlations among them for practical astrophysical usage.
