Talk preview
What to expect
Black-hole spins are one of the clearest clues to how binary black holes form and evolve. This talk preview focuses on what gravitational-wave measurements can tell us about compact-object populations, and how Bayesian inference helps separate real astrophysical structure from selection effects and measurement uncertainty.
