Measuring precession in asymmetric compact binaries
Gravitational-wave observations of merging compact binaries hold the key to precision measurements of the objects' masses and spins. General relativistic precession, caused by spins misaligned with the orbital angular momentum, is considered a crucial tracer for determining the binary's fo...
