We derive analytic expressions that provide Fourier domain gravitational wave (GW) response function for compact binaries inspiraling along moderately eccentric orbits. These expressions include amplitude corrections to the two GW polarization states that are accurate to the first post-Newtonian (PN) order. Additionally, our fully 3PN accurate GW phase evolution incorporates eccentricity effects up to sixth order at each PN order. Further, we develop a prescription to incorporate analytically the effects of 3PN accurate periastron advance in the GW phase evolution. This is how we provide a ready-to-use and efficient inspiral template family for compact binaries in moderately eccentric orbits. Preliminary GW data analysis explorations suggest that our template family should be required to construct analytic inspiral-merger-ringdown templates to model moderately eccentric compact binary coalescence.

We present a time domain waveform model that describes the inspiral-merger-ringdown (IMR) of compact binary systems whose components are non-spinning, and which evolve on orbits with low to moderate eccentricity. The inspiral evolution is described u sing third order post-Newtonian equations both for the equations of motion of the binary, and its far-zone radiation field. This latter component also includes instantaneous, tails and tails-of-tails contributions, and a contribution due to non-linear memory. This framework reduces to the post-Newtonian approximant TaylorT4 at third post-Newtonian order in the zero eccentricity limit. To improve phase accuracy, we incorporate higher-order post-Newtonian corrections for the energy flux of quasi-circular binaries and gravitational self-force corrections to the binding energy of compact binaries. This enhanced inspiral evolution prescription is combined with an analytical prescription for the merger-ringdown evolution using a catalog of numerical relativity simulations. This IMR waveform model reproduces effective-one-body waveforms for systems with mass-ratios between 1 to 15 in the zero eccentricity limit. Using a set of eccentric numerical relativity simulations, not used during calibration, we show that our eccentric model accurately reproduces the features of eccentric compact binary coalescence throughout the merger. Using this model we show that the gravitational wave transients GW150914 and GW151226 can be effectively recovered with template banks of quasi-circular, spin-aligned waveforms if the eccentricity $e_0$ of these systems when they enter the aLIGO band at a gravitational wave frequency of 14 Hz satisfies $e_0^{rm GW150914}leq0.15$ and $e_0^{rm GW151226}leq0.1$.
Observations of transient gravitational wave (GW) events with non-negligible orbital eccentricity can be highly rewarding from astrophysical considerations. Ready-to-use fully analytic frequency domain inspiral GW templates are crucial ingredients to construct eccentric inspiral-merger-ringdown waveform families, required for the detection of such GW events. It turns out that a fully analytic, post-Newtonian (PN) accurate frequency domain inspiral template family, which uses certain post-circular approximation, may only be suitable to model events with initial eccentricities $e_0 leq 0.2$.We here explore the possibility of combining Post-Circular and Pade approximations to obtain fully analytic frequency domain eccentric inspiral templates. The resulting 1PN-accurate approximant is capable of faithfully capturing eccentric inspirals having $e_0 leq 0.6$ while employing our 1PN extension of a frequency domain template family that does not use post-circular approximation, detailed in Moore, B., et al. 2018, Classical and Quantum Gravity, 35, 235006. We also discuss subtleties that arise while combining post-circular and Pade approximations to obtain higher PN order templates for eccentric inspirals.
Ultralight bosons can be abundantly produced through superradiance process by a spinning black hole and form a bound state with hydrogen-like spectrum. We show that such a gravitational atom typically possesses anomalously large mass quadrupole and l eads to significant orbital precession when it forms an eccentric binary with a second compact object. Dynamically formed black hole binaries or pulsar-black hole binaries are typically eccentric during their early inspirals. We show that the large orbital precession can generate distinct and observable signature in their gravitational wave or pulsar timing signals.
We extend the gravitational self-force approach to encompass `self-interaction tidal effects for a compact body of mass $mu$ on a quasi-circular orbit around a black hole of mass $M gg mu$. Specifically, we define and calculate at $O(mu)$ (conservati ve) shifts in the eigenvalues of the electric- and magnetic-type tidal tensors, and a (dissipative) shift in a scalar product between their eigenbases. This approach yields four gauge-invariant functions, from which one may construct other tidal quantities such as the curvature scalars and the speciality index. First, we analyze the general case of a geodesic in a regular perturbed vacuum spacetime admitting a helical Killing vector and a reflection symmetry. Next, we specialize to focus on circular orbits in the equatorial plane of Kerr spacetime at $O(mu)$. We present accurate numerical results for the Schwarzschild case for orbital radii up to the light-ring, calculated via independent implementations in Lorenz and Regge-Wheeler gauges. We show that our results are consistent with leading-order post-Newtonian expansions, and demonstrate the existence of additional structure in the strong-field regime. We anticipate that our strong-field results will inform (e.g.) effective one-body models for the gravitational two-body problem that are invaluable in the ongoing search for gravitational waves.
Eccentricity has emerged as a potentially useful tool for helping to identify the origin of black hole mergers. However, owing to the large number of harmonics required to compute the amplitude of an eccentric signal, eccentric templates can be compu tationally very expensive, making statistical analyses to distinguish distributions from different formation channels very challenging. In this paper, we outline a method for estimating the signal-to-noise ratio for inspiraling binaries at lower frequencies such as those proposed for LISA and DECIGO. Our approximation can be useful more generally for any quasi-periodic sources. We argue that surprisingly, the signal-to-noise ratio evaluated at or near the peak frequency (of the power) is well approximated by using a constant noise curve, even if in reality the noise strain has power law dependence. We furthermore improve this initial estimate over our previous calculation to allow for frequency-dependence in the noise to expand the range of eccentricity and frequency over which our approximation applies. We show how to apply this method to get an answer accurate to within a factor of two over almost the entire projected observable frequency range. We emphasize this method is not a replacement for detailed signal processing. The utility lies chiefly in identifying theoretically useful discriminators among different populations and providing fairly accurate estimates for how well they should work. This approximation can furthermore be useful for narrowing down parameter ranges in a computationally economical way when events are observed. We furthermore show a distinctive way to identify events with extremely high eccentricity where the signal is enhanced relative to naive expectations on the high frequency end.
