In a globular cluster, hierarchical triple black hole systems can be produced through binary-binary interaction. It has been proposed recently that the Kozai mechanism could drive the inner binary of the triple system to merge before it is interrupted by interactions with other field stars. We investigate qualitatively and numerically the evolution of the eccentricities in these binaries under gravitational radiation (GR) reaction. We predict that ~ 30 % of the systems will possess eccentricities >0.1 when their emitted gravitational waves pass through 10 Hz frequency. The implications for gravitational wave detection, especially the relevance to data analyses for broad-band laser-interferometer gravitational wave detectors, are discussed.

  1. Joint inference of line-of-sight acceleration and orbital eccentricity in neutron-star--black-hole binaries

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    All five NSBH events are consistent with zero line-of-sight acceleration; the joint posterior for GW200105_162426 disfavors both zero LOSA and zero eccentricity at 90% credibility.

  2. Trails of clouds in binary black holes

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Boson clouds around binary black holes generically deplete through orbital resonances, driving eccentricity and spin-orbit tilt toward fixed points—including off-equatorial ones—leaving observable gravitational-wave trails.

  3. Third post-Newtonian dynamics for eccentric orbits and aligned spins in the effective-one-body waveform model SEOBNRv5EHM

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors obtain, for the first time, 3PN-accurate eccentric-orbit fluxes, radiation-reaction force, and waveform modes in the effective-one-body formalism, and use them to build the SEOBNRv5EHM inspiral model.

  4. Accurate waveforms for eccentric, aligned-spin binary black holes: The multipolar effective-one-body model SEOBNRv5EHM

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    SEOBNRv5EHM, a new effective-one-body waveform model with third-post-Newtonian eccentricity corrections, reaches a median 0.02% mismatch against eccentric numerical-relativity simulations, about an order of magnitude ...

  5. A parametrized test of general relativity for inspiralling eccentric binaries in LISA

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For eccentric black-hole binaries observed by LISA, a parametrized deformation of the periastron-precession rate could be constrained to |δα|≲10^-4 at 90% credibility with the full-model template.

  6. Eccentric and unbound compact binaries in the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA catalog: parameter estimation and waveform systematics with SEOBNRv6EHM

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    SEOBNRv6EHM reduces parameter biases for eccentric binaries versus prior models and shows mild support for eccentricity in five catalog events plus comparable unbound fits for three high-mass events.

  7. Evidence for eccentricity in the population of binary black holes observed by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA

    gr-qc 2024-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Bayesian inference on LVK O1-O3 events with eccentric aligned-spin waveforms yields log10 Bayes factors of 1.77-4.75 favoring eccentricity for GW200129, GW190701 and GW200208_22, and >99.5% probability that at least o...

  8. AGN-driven BBH mergers: Black hole populations and hierarchical growth across the AGN parameter space

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Semi-analytical models show AGN disks produce repeated BBH mergers with a high-mass tail beyond the pair-instability gap, more efficiently at low viscosity, with spin and mass-ratio signatures that can match events li...

  9. Effect of a second compact object on stable circular orbits

    gr-qc 2019-08 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the Majumdar-Papapetrou two-black-hole spacetime, the mass ratio of the two holes divides into four regimes separated by three critical values that control the existence and topology of stable circular orbits.

  10. PRECESSION 2.1: black-hole binary spin precession on eccentric orbits

    gr-qc 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Version 2.1 of the precession code extends post-Newtonian modeling of spinning black-hole binaries to eccentric orbits via a decorator-based adaptation and new evolutionary equations.
