Which Black Hole Is Spinning? Probing the Origin of Black Hole Spin with Gravitational Waves
Theoretical studies of angular momentum transport suggest that isolated stellar-mass black holes are born with negligible dimensionless spin magnitudes χ ≲ 0.01. However, recent gravitational-wave observations indicate ≳40% of binary black hole systems contain at least one black hole with a nonnegli...
