abstract
In this {\it Letter} we calculate the fraction of highly eccentric binary black hole (BBH) mergers resulting from binary-single interactions. Using an $N$-body code that includes post-Newtonian correction terms, we show that $\gtrsim 1\%$ of all BBH mergers resulting from this channel will have an eccentricity $e>0.1$ when coming into the LIGO frequency band. As the majority of BBH mergers forming in globular clusters are assembled through three-body encounters, we suggest that such interactions are likely to dominate the population of high eccentricity BBH mergers detectable by LIGO. The relative frequency of highly eccentric events could eventually help to constrain the astrophysical origin of BBH mergers.

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

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

Observable signature of magnetic tidal coupling in hierarchical triple systems
Magnetic tidal fields from a supermassive black hole trigger new orbital resonances in a companion compact binary, boosting eccentricity and altering its gravitational-wave signal.

Chase Orbits, not Time: A Scalable Paradigm for Long-Duration Eccentric Gravitational-Wave Surrogates
Eccentric inspiral waveforms are modeled against mean anomaly rather than time, yielding an order-of-magnitude compression and a 2.77e6 M surrogate that is ~20x faster to evaluate.

Enhancing Early Detection and Localization of Gravitational Waves via Eccentricity-Induced Higher Harmonic Modes with 2G Detector Networks
Eccentricity-induced higher harmonics allow binary neutron star gravitational wave signals to reach detection thresholds and achieve useful localization several minutes earlier in 2G detector networks than circular signals.

Inferring additional physics through unmodelled signal reconstructions
A cWB overlap mismatch metric, Δmedian, separates simulated 40 solar mass black hole mergers with e20 ≳ 0.17 from circular ones even when parameter estimation uses only quasicircular waveforms.
