PhenomXO4a: a phenomenological gravitational-wave model for precessing black-hole binaries with higher multipoles and asymmetries

Jonathan E. Thompson, Eleanor Hamilton, Lionel London +4

In this work we introduce PhenomXO4a, the first phenomenological, frequency-domain gravitational waveform model to incorporate multipole asymmetries and precession angles tuned to…

Measurability of precession and eccentricity for heavy binary-black-hole mergers

Yumeng Xu, Eleanor Hamilton

Gravitational wave detections offer insights into the astrophysical populations of black holes in the universe and their formation processes. Detections of binaries consisting of b…

PhenomXPNR: An improved gravitational wave model linking precessing inspirals and NR-calibrated merger-ringdown

Eleanor Hamilton, Marta Colleoni, Jonathan E. Thompson +10

We present the frequency-domain quasi-circular precessing binary-black-hole model PhenomXPNR. This model combines the most precise available post-Newtonian description of the evolu…

Ringdown frequencies in black holes formed from precessing black-hole binaries

Eleanor Hamilton, Lionel London, Mark Hannam

We present a simple formula for the effective ringdown frequencies of the gravitational-wave signal of a precessing black-hole binary in the co-precessing frame. This formula requi…

A catalogue of precessing black-hole-binary numerical-relativity simulations

Eleanor Hamilton, Edward Fauchon-Jones, Mark Hannam +9

We present a public catalogue of numerical-relativity binary-black-hole simulations. The catalogue contains datasets from 80 distinct configurations of precessing binary-black-hole…

Systematic bias due to mismodelling precessing binary black hole ringdown

Cheng Foo, Eleanor Hamilton

Accurate waveform modelling is crucial for parameter estimation in gravitational wave astronomy, impacting our understanding of source properties and the testing of general relativ…
