Gravitational-wave astrophysics with effective-spin measurements: Asymmetries and selection biases
Gravitational waves emitted by coalescing compact objects carry information about the spin of the individual bodies. However, with present detectors only the mass-weighted combination of the components of the spin along the orbital angular momentum can be measured accurately. This quantity, the effe...
