The Importance of Spin for Observing Gravitational Waves from Coalescing Compact Binaries with LIGO and Virgo
General Relativity predicts the existence of gravitational waves, which carry information about the physical and dynamical properties of their source. One of the many promising sources of gravitational waves observable by ground-based instruments, such as in LIGO and Virgo, is the coalescence of two...
