Understand

Gravitational waves carry energy, angular momentum, and linear momentum.

In generic binary black hole mergers, the loss of linear momentum imparts a recoil velocity, or a "kick", to the remnant black hole.
We exploit recent advances in gravitational waveform and remnant black hole modeling to extract information about the kick from the gravitational wave signal.
Kick measurements such as these are astrophysically valuable, enabling independent constraints on the rate of second-generation mergers.
