Coalescing binary black holes emit anisotropic gravitational radiation. This causes a net emission of linear momentum that produces a gradual acceleration of the source. As a result, the final remnant black hole acquires a characteristic velocity known as recoil velocity or gravitational kick. The symmetries of gravitational wave emission are reflected in the interactions of the gravitational wave modes emitted by the binary. In this work we make use of the rich information encoded in the higher-order modes of the gravitational wave emission to infer the component of the kick along the line-of-sight (or textit{radial kick}). We do this by performing parameter inference on simulated signals given by numerical relativity waveforms for non-spinning binaries using numerical relativity templates of aligned-spin (non-precessing) binary black holes. We find that for suitable sources, namely those with mass ratio $qgeq 2$ and total mass $M sim 100M_odot$, and for modest radial kicks of $120km/s$, the $90%$ credible intervals of our posterior probability distributions can exclude a zero kick at a signal-to-noise ratio of $15$; using a single Advanced LIGO detector working at its early sensitivity. The measurement of a non-zero radial kick component would provide the first observational signature of net transport of linear momentum by gravitational waves away from their source.
LIGO and Virgo have recently observed a number of gravitational wave (GW) signals that are fully consistent with being emitted by binary black holes described by general relativity. However, there are theoretical proposals of exotic objects that can
The observation of gravitational-wave signals from merging black-hole binaries enables direct measurement of the properties of the black holes. An individual observation allows measurement of the black-hole masses, but only limited information about
We show that second-generation gravitational-wave detectors at their design sensitivity will allow us to directly probe the ringdown phase of binary black hole coalescences. This opens the possibility to test the so-called black hole no-hair conjectu
We present a systematic comparison of the binary black hole (BBH) signal waveform reconstructed by two independent and complementary approaches used in LIGO and Virgo source inference: a template-based analysis, and a morphology-independent analysis.
Binary black hole may form near a supermassive black hole. The background black hole (BH) will affect the gravitational wave (GW) generated by the binary black hole. It is well known that the Penrose process may provide extra energy due to the ergosp
