SUMMARY:Probing the Origin of Black Hole Binary Mergers with Gravitational
  Wave Modulations - Johan Samsing\, Niels Bohr International Academy

DESCRIPTION:A major outstanding challenge is how to observationally infer 
 the formation of black hole mergers using gravitational waves alone. I wil
 l discuss and show how several likely formation channels will give rise to
  modulations of the gravitational wave signal\, which can be modeled and l
 ooked for with current (LIGO/Virgo) and future (3G) ground-based observato
 ries. Modulations of the gravitational wave signal might be the only way t
 o distinguish the growing list of suggested formation pathways apart with 
 gravitational waves alone. Modeling and looking for such modulations\, i.e
 . deviations from 2-body isolated vacuum inspirals\, must start to play a 
 key-role in the coming years when sensitivity goes up.
