abstract
The behavior of merging black holes (including the emitted gravitational waves and the properties of the remnant) can currently be computed only by numerical simulations. This paper introduces ten numerical relativity simulations of binary black holes with equal masses and equal spins aligned or anti-aligned with the orbital angular momentum. The initial spin magnitudes have $|\chi_i| \lesssim 0.95$ and are more concentrated in the aligned direction because of the greater astrophysical interest of this case. We combine this data with five previously reported simulations of the same configuration, but with different spin magnitudes, including the highest spin simulated to date, $\chi_i \approx 0.97$. This data set is sufficiently accurate to enable us to offer improved analytic fitting formulae for the final spin and for the energy radiated by gravitational waves as a function of initial spin. The improved fitting formulae can help to improve our understanding of the properties of binary black hole merger remnants and can be used to enhance future approximate waveforms for gravitational wave searches, such as Effective-One-Body waveforms.

Remnant properties of binary neutron star mergers undergoing prompt collapse
Prompt-collapse neutron star merger remnants occupy a narrow, high-spin region of the mass-spin plane, and Cosmic Explorer could use tidal deformability to classify most such mergers as neutron star events out to 100-250 Mpc.

Biased parameter inference of eccentric, spin-precessing binary black holes
Eccentric BBH signals recovered with quasi-circular precessing models show biases in chirp mass and χ_p; Bayes factors favor eccentric aligned-spin models when both eccentricity and precession are present.

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...
