Understand

Binary black hole spin measurements from gravitational wave observations can reveal the binary's evolutionary history.

In particular, the spin orientations of the component black holes within the orbital plane, $\phi_1$ and $\phi_2$, can be used to identify binaries caught in the so-called spin-orbit resonances.
In a companion paper, we demonstrate that $\phi_1$ and $\phi_2$ are best measured near the merger of the two black holes.
In this work, we use these spin measurements to provide the first constraints on the full six-dimensional spin distribution of merging binary black holes.
