Gravitational wave source localization problem is important in gravitational wave astronomy. Regarding ground-based detector, almost all of the previous investigations only considered the difference of arrival time among the detector network for source localization. Within the matched filtering framework, the information beside the arrival time difference can possibly also do some help on source localization. Especially when an eccentric binary is considered, the character involved in the gravitational waveform may improve the source localization. We investigate this effect systematically in the current paper. During the investigation, the enhanced post-circular (EPC) waveform model is used to describe the eccentric binary coalesce. We find that the source localization accuracy does increase along with the eccentricity increases. But such improvement depends on the total mass of the binary. For total mass 100M${}_\odot$ binary, the source localization accuracy may be improved about 2 times in general when the eccentricity increases from 0 to 0.4. For total mass 65M${}_\odot$ binary (GW150914-like binary), the improvement factor is about 1.3 when the eccentricity increases from 0 to 0.4. For total mass 22M${}_\odot$ binary (GW151226-like binary), such improvement is ignorable.

  1. Impact of eccentricity and higher-modes on neutron star-black hole parameter estimation

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Eccentric NSBH signals like GW200105 contain much more information about masses, mass ratio, and effective spin per unit SNR than circular signals, but not about sky position or distance.

  2. Impact of eccentricity and higher-modes on neutron star-black hole parameter estimation

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Eccentricity in neutron star–black hole mergers sharply tightens measurements of intrinsic parameters like mass ratio and effective spin, but gives almost no improvement in distance or sky localization.

  3. Enhancing Early Detection and Localization of Gravitational Waves via Eccentricity-Induced Higher Harmonic Modes with 2G Detector Networks

    gr-qc 2024-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Eccentricity-induced higher harmonics allow binary neutron star gravitational wave signals to reach detection thresholds and achieve useful localization several minutes earlier in 2G detector networks than circular signals.
