Extracting the Gravitational Recoil from Black Hole Merger Signals

Gravitational waves carry energy, angular momentum, and linear momentum. In generic binary black hole mergers, the loss of linear momentum imparts a recoil velocity, or a "kick," to the remnant black hole. We exploit recent advances in gravitational waveform and remnant black hole modeling...
