Gravitational-wave Kicks Impact the Spins of Black Holes from Hierarchical Mergers
One proposed black hole formation channel involves hierarchical mergers, where black holes form through repeated binary mergers. Previous studies have shown that such black holes follow a near-universal spin distribution centered around 0.7. However, gravitational-wave kicks can eject remnants from...
