abstract
We analyze 192 sets of binary black hole merger data in eccentric orbits obtained from RIT, decomposing the radiation energy into three distinct phases through time: inspiral, late inspiral to merger, and ringdown. Our investigation reveals a universal oscillatory behavior in radiation energy across these phases, influenced by varying initial eccentricities. From a post-Newtonian perspective, we compare the orbital average of radiation energy with the non-orbital average during the inspiral phase. Our findings indicate that the oscillatory patterns arise from non-orbital average effects, which disappear when orbital averaging is applied. This orbital effect significantly impacts the mass, spin, and recoil velocity of the merger remnant, with its influence increasing as the initial eccentricity rises. Specifically, in the post-Newtonian framework, the amplitudes of oscillations for mass, spin, and recoil velocity at ${e_t}_0 = 0.5$ (initial temporal eccentricity of PN) are enhanced by approximately 10, 5, and 7 times, respectively, compared to those at ${e_t}_0 = 0.1$. For a circular orbit, where ${e_t}_0 = 0.0$, the oscillations vanish entirely. These findings have important implications for waveform modeling, numerical relativity simulations, and the characterization of binary black hole formation channels.

Eccentricity Effects on Modeling Dynamic Quantities and Their Correlations in Binary Black Hole Mergers
Varying the initial orbital phase of an eccentric binary black hole at fixed eccentricity produces an envelope of radiated energy, momentum, and spin, so eccentric mergers span broad domains of remnant properties rela...
