Authenticating the presence of a relativistic massive black hole binary in OJ 287 using its general relativity centenary flare: improved orbital parameters

Results from regular monitoring of relativistic compact binaries like PSR 1913+16 are consistent with the dominant (quadrupole) order emission of gravitational waves (GWs). We show that observations associated with the binary black hole central engine of blazar OJ 287 demand the inclusion of gravita...
