Structure and Skewness of the Effective Inspiral Spin Distribution of Binary Black Hole Mergers

The detection of gravitational waves has brought to light a population of binary black holes that merge within a Hubble time. Multiple formation channels can contribute to this population, making it difficult to definitively associate particular population features with underlying stellar physics. B...
