Understand

The non-linear gravitational wave (GW) memory effect is a distinct prediction in general relativity.

While the effect has been well studied for comparable mass binaries, it has mostly been overlooked for intermediate mass ratio inspirals (IMRIs).
We offer a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenology and detectability of memory effects, including contributions from subdominant harmonic modes, in heavy IMRIs consisting of a stellar mass black hole and an intermediate mass black hole.
When formed through hierarchical mergers, for example when a GW190521-like remnant captures a stellar mass black hole, IMRI systems have a large total mass, large spin on the primary, and possibly residual eccentricity; features that potentially raise the prospect for memory detection.
