Understand

With better statistics and precision, eccentricity could prove to be a useful tool for understanding the origin and environment of binary black holes.

Hierarchical triples in particular, which might be abundant in globular clusters and galactic nuclei, could generate observably large eccentricity at LIGO and future gravitational wave detectors.
Measuring the eccentricity distribution accurately could help us probe the background and the formation of the mergers.
In this paper we continue our previous investigation and improve our semi-analytical description of the eccentricity distribution of mergers hierarchical triple systems.
