Precession during merger R. O’Shaughnessy (UWM) J. Healy, L. London, D. Shoemaker (Georgia Tech) Midwest Relativity Meeting, Chicago arXiv:

Key concepts of talk Title Translation A: (GW) Polarization changes during, after merger B: Tracks a direction (and line of sight) C: It is detectable D: Simple interpretation (precession) Encodes astrophysics (transverse spins) in merger, ringdown “Precession during merger: Strong polarization changes are observationally accessible features of strong-field gravity during binary black hole merger”

Fiducial example One of ~ 100 distinct precessing simulations [Maya; Cactus+carpet+Einstein toolkit] (total angular momentum) time/M log amplitude (Weyl) Locations Inspiral Merger Ringdown Waveform (one direction) (orbital angular momentum)

Fiducial example

Precession modulates GW Features L precessing around J GW signal along +L, right or left handed J L Right handed Left handed Analogy: Single-spin precession, early inspiral Right handed (top view) Left handed (bottom view)

Polarization changes during merger Experiments see one line of sight Measure R,L …if sensitive to both linear polarizations Polarization changes during merger log amplitude (Weyl) time/M RLRL J Right handed Left handed Observer

A: Polarization changes B: Traces path of “L” … each line of sight … works after merger To include merger: ‘Peak’ or “L” -> ‘preferred location’ Polarization follows “peak” Schmidt et al 2011 ROS et al 2011 [arxiv: ] Boyle et al 2012 RLRL t/M Calculated Predicted

Detectable A: Polarization changes during, after merger B: Tracks a direction (and line of sight) C: It is detectable –Argument 1: Direction changes significantly “in band” –Argument 2: Waveform modulated (“clearly not like nonprecessing”)

Large, fast direction changes View from “above” final J Before [0 M] Path of “peak” Little change over a few orbits -500 M

Large, fast direction changes View from “above” final J After [90 M] Path of “peak”

What is going on? “Precession” after merger BH perturbation view: Multimodal (m=2,1,…), quasi-coherent “Precession rate” [points] QNM frequency differences Final BH spin Precession rate “precession rate”

Significant modulations How significant? –Fraction of amplitude lost vs nonprecessing reference –Compare with nonprecessing [BH-NS : Brown et al arXiv: ] Lose amplitude in direct proportion to precession–induced modulations What reference? Itself! –Go to corotating frame –Use (l,m) = (2,2) mode in corotating frame Schmidt et al 2011 ROS et al 2011 [arxiv: ] Boyle et al 2012

Significant modulations Geometric phase, amplitude effects –“Corotating waveform” transformed by precession –Each rotation vs time, line of sight  distinct signature How significant? –Fraction of amplitude lost [contours ] vs reference –Compare with nonprecessing [BH-NS : Brown et al arXiv: ] Lose amplitude in direct proportion to precession–induced modulations –Reference = itself, in corotating frame Schmidt et al 2011 ROS et al 2011 [arxiv: ] Boyle et al Msun; iLIGO - higher harmonics weak

Significant modulations Figure key J Gradient: “orbital plane” [estimate] Contours: Fraction of power “lost” –Comparison: > ~2% = detectable effect [SNR 10] J L Right Left Most lines of sight - a nonprecessing search loses power - if detectable, enough lost to measure some precessing parameters J 100 Msun; iLIGO - higher harmonics weak

Summary A: Polarization changes during, after merger B: Tracks a direction (and line of sight) C: It is detectable D: Simple interpretation (precession) Encodes astrophysics in merger, ringdown (spin-orbit misalignment, …)

Conclusions Short precessing merger signals modulated –Measurable –Precession = “natural” coordinate/parameter Implications –Simulation placement –Searches and parameter estimation Phenomenological precession fitting –Astrophysics Spin-orbit misalignment from merger, ringdown? –Testing GR Strong field dynamics …even with short merger signal alone

Equation support Complex overlap –Maximize over time and polarization Preferred orientation Polarization projection: Frequency domain (Complex) polarization amplitude An estimate of the peak location O, from line of sight frame (n,x,y) Rotation group generators

Spin and waveforms Generic precession: Misaligned binaries precess [ACST] …often around nearly-constant J direction (Leading order): Propagation of L modulates waveform J loss decreases L: More spin-dominated More “freedom” for L at late times… less freedom early on Other spin effect: Duration (=SNR,amplitude) Angular momentum “barrier”, more emission

Precession: modulated wave Secular part: - phase: chirps, but at different rate depends on line of sight (somewhat) Modulating part: - magnitude depends on opening cone only, not mass, spin (once cone known) - good approx: precession cone opens slowly - model: complex (fourier) amplitude z - usually several cycles in band - number depends on mass, spin, NOT geometry Separation of timescales: …+ use LIGO-like detectors (relatively) narrowband -> a) ignore increasing opening angle (usually suppressed below radiation time) b) average SNR across the lighthouse c) factor overlap: masses, geometry Amplitude (of t(f))frequency Phase e.g., Brown et al arXiv:

Measurable effects Each path (& modulation) distinct …if you precess (in band), measurable …need one loud or many faint Different regimes: –BH-NS : Many L cycles, each faint. Can be strongly modulated Measurable: ~ “mean” precession path of L –BH-BH (>100 Msun) : Any at cycles at all? Too short? Merger epoch, so no precession? [Brown et al arXiv: ]
