Abstract: We demonstrate that in binary black hole mergers there is a direct correlation between the frequency of the gravitational wave at peak amplitude and the mass and spin of the final black hole. This correlation could potentially assist with the analysis of gravitational wave observations from binary black hole mergers.

Recommendations

• A method for estimating time–frequency characteristics of compact binary mergers to improve searches for inspiral, merger and ring-down phases separately
• Gravitational waves from inspiralling binary black holes
• Gravitational-wave data analysis using binary black-hole waveforms
• Status of black-hole-binary simulations for gravitational-wave detection
• Analytical modeling of binary black hole coalescence
