X-Pipeline: An analysis package for autonomous gravitational-wave burst searches

Patrick J. Sutton, Gareth Jones, Shourov Chatterji +8

Autonomous gravitational-wave searches -- fully automated analyses of data that run without human intervention or assistance -- are desirable for a number of reasons. They are nece…

Momentum flow in black-hole binaries: II. Numerical simulations of equal-mass, head-on mergers with antiparallel spins

Geoffrey Lovelace, Yanbei Chen, Michael Cohen +6

Research on extracting science from binary-black-hole (BBH) simulations has often adopted a "scattering matrix" perspective: given the binary's initial parameters, what are the fin…

Extrapolating gravitational-wave data from numerical simulations

Michael Boyle, Abdul H. Mroué

Two complementary techniques are developed for obtaining the asymptotic form of gravitational-wave data at large radii from numerical simulations, in the form of easily implemented…

Orbiting binary black hole evolutions with a multipatch high order finite-difference approach

Enrique Pazos, Manuel Tiglio, Matthew D. Duez +2

We present numerical simulations of orbiting black holes for around twelve cycles, using a high-order multipatch approach. Unlike some other approaches, the computational speed sca…

Effective-one-body waveforms calibrated to numerical relativity simulations: coalescence of non-spinning, equal-mass black holes

Alessandra Buonanno, Yi Pan, Harald P. Pfeiffer +3

We calibrate the effective-one-body (EOB) model to an accurate numerical simulation of an equal-mass, non-spinning binary black-hole coalescence produced by the Caltech-Cornell col…

Comparison of high-accuracy numerical simulations of black-hole binaries with stationary phase post-Newtonian template waveforms for Initial and Advanced LIGO

Michael Boyle, Duncan A. Brown, Larne Pekowsky

We study the effectiveness of stationary-phase approximated post-Newtonian waveforms currently used by ground-based gravitational-wave detectors to search for the coalescence of bi…

The Samurai Project: verifying the consistency of black-hole-binary waveforms for gravitational-wave detection

Mark Hannam, Sascha Husa, John G. Baker +16

We quantify the consistency of numerical-relativity black-hole-binary waveforms for use in gravitational-wave (GW) searches with current and planned ground-based detectors. We comp…
