Targeted numerical simulations of binary black holes for GW170104
James Healy, Jacob Lange, Richard O'Shaughnessy +22
In response to LIGO's observation of GW170104, we performed a series of full numerical simulations of binary black holes, each designed to replicate likely realizations of its dyna…
Radiation-Reaction Force on a Small Charged Body to Second Order
Jordan Moxon, Éanna Flanagan
In classical electrodynamics, an accelerating charged body emits radiation and experiences a corresponding radiation-reaction force, or self force. We extend to higher order in the…
On choosing the start time of binary black hole ringdown
Swetha Bhagwat, Maria Okounkova, Stefan W. Ballmer +4
The final stage of a binary black hole merger is ringdown, in which the system is described by a Kerr black hole with quasinormal mode perturbations. It is far from straightforward…
Eccentric, nonspinning, inspiral, Gaussian-process merger approximant for the detection and characterization of eccentric binary black hole mergers
E. A. Huerta, C. J. Moore, Prayush Kumar +10
We present , a time domain, inspiral-merger-ringdown waveform model that describes non-spinning binary black holes systems that evolve on moderately eccentric orbi…
Systematic challenges for future gravitational wave measurements of precessing binary black holes
A. R. Williamson, J. Lange, R. O'Shaughnessy +4
The properties of precessing, coalescing binary black holes are presently inferred through comparison with two approximate models of compact binary coalescence. In this work we sho…
Scalar, Vector and Tensor Harmonics on the Three-Sphere
Lee Lindblom, Nicholas W. Taylor, Fan Zhang
Scalar, vector and tensor harmonics on the three-sphere were introduced originally to facilitate the study of various problems in gravitational physics. These harmonics are defined…
An eccentric binary black hole inspiral-merger-ringdown gravitational waveform model from numerical relativity and post-Newtonian theory
Ian Hinder, Lawrence E. Kidder, Harald P. Pfeiffer
We present a prescription for computing gravitational waveforms for the inspiral, merger and ringdown of non-spinning eccentric binary black hole systems. The inspiral waveform is…
Self-forces in arbitrary dimensions
Abraham I. Harte, Peter Taylor, Éanna É. Flanagan
Bodies coupled to electromagnetic or other long-range fields are subject to radiation reaction and other effects in which their own fields can influence their motion. Self-force ph…
Stability of stationary-axisymmetric black holes in vacuum general relativity to axisymmetric electromagnetic perturbations
Kartik Prabhu, Robert M. Wald
We consider arbitrary stationary and axisymmetric black holes in general relativity in dimensions (with ) that satisfy the vacuum Einstein equation and have a no…
Spin-orbit precession along eccentric orbits for extreme mass ratio black hole binaries and its effective-one-body transcription
Chris Kavanagh, Donato Bini, Thibault Damour +3
In this work we present an analytical gravitational self-force calculation of the spin-orbit precession along an eccentric orbit around a Schwarzschild black hole, following closel…
A Parameter Estimation Method that Directly Compares Gravitational Wave Observations to Numerical Relativity
Jacob Lange, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Michael Boyle +23
We present and assess a Bayesian method to interpret gravitational wave signals from binary black holes. Our method directly compares gravitational wave data to numerical relativit…
A Numerical Relativity Waveform Surrogate Model for Generically Precessing Binary Black Hole Mergers
Jonathan Blackman, Scott E. Field, Mark A. Scheel +6
A generic, non-eccentric binary black hole (BBH) system emits gravitational waves (GWs) that are completely described by 7 intrinsic parameters: the black hole spin vectors and the…
An architecture for efficient gravitational wave parameter estimation with multimodal linear surrogate models
Richard O'Shaughnessy, Jonathan Blackman, Scott E. Field
The recent direct observation of gravitational waves has further emphasized the desire for fast, low-cost, and accurate methods to infer the parameters of gravitational wave source…
A Surrogate Model of Gravitational Waveforms from Numerical Relativity Simulations of Precessing Binary Black Hole Mergers
Jonathan Blackman, Scott E. Field, Mark A. Scheel +4
We present the first surrogate model for gravitational waveforms from the coalescence of precessing binary black holes. We call this surrogate model NRSur4d2s. Our methodology sign…
