Evidence for a Correlation between Binary Black Hole Mass Ratio and Black Hole Spins

The astrophysical origins of the binary black hole systems seen with gravitational waves are still not well understood. However, features in the distribution of black hole masses, spins, redshifts, and eccentricities provide clues into how these systems form. Much has been learned by investigating t...
