Eccentric Stellar-mass Binary Black Holes: Population, Detectability, and Waveform Analysis in the LISA and LIGO Era

Bence Kocsis, Erez Michaely, Kyle Kremer, Michael L. Katz, Smadar Naoz, Zeyuan Xuan

Dynamically formed eccentric stellar-mass black hole binaries produce a detectable population for LISA in the Milky Way and at cosmological distances.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Our results predict a wide, highly eccentric BBH population in the Milky Way (MW), with source counts of ∼36, 13, 4.7, 2.3, 1.0 (for SNR > 1, 3, 8, 20, 50, respectively) during a 10-yr LISA observation. ... our model yields a merger rate of Γ ∼ 9 Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1} and ∼490 extragalactic mHz BBHs with SNR > 1.

C2weakest assumption

The simulated catalog accurately captures the full population by incorporating contributions from the Galactic field (flyby interactions), Galactic nucleus (eccentric Kozai-Lidov evolution), and globular clusters (N-body interactions) as the dominant formation channels for eccentric stellar-mass BBHs.

C3one line summary

Simulations of dynamically formed eccentric stellar-mass BBHs predict dozens of LISA-detectable sources in the Milky Way, hundreds of low-SNR extragalactic mHz sources, a merger rate of ~9 Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1}, and potential biases in LISA global fits.
