| Popis: | Close hyperbolic encounters of black holes (BHs) generate certain Burst With Memory (BWM) events in the frequency windows of the operational, planned, and proposed gravitational wave (GW) observatories. We present detailed explorations of the detectable parameter space of such events that are relevant for the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA and the International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA) consortia. The underlying temporally evolving GW polarization states are adapted from Cho et al. [Phys. Rev. D 98, 024039 (2018)] and therefore incorporate general relativistic effects up to the third post-Newtonian order. Further, we provide a prescription to ensure the validity of our waveform family while describing close encounters. Preliminary investigations reveal that optimally placed BWM events should be visible to megaparsec distances for the existing ground-based observatories. In contrast, maturing IPTA datasets should be able to provide constraints on the occurrences of such hyperbolic encounters of supermassive BHs to gigaparsec distances.
