The Fourth RIT binary black hole simulations catalog: Extension to Eccentric Orbits

Abstract

This fourth release of the RIT public catalog of numerical relativity black-hole-binary waveforms \url{http://ccrg.rit.edu/~RITCatalog} consists of 1881 accurate simulations that include 446 precessing and 611 nonprecessing quasicircular/inspiraling binary systems with mass ratios $q=m_1/m_2$ in the range $1/128\le q\le 1$ and individual spins up to $s/m^2=0.95$; and 824 in eccentric orbits in the range $0<e\le 1$. The catalog also provides initial parameters of the binary, trajectory information, peak radiation, and final remnant black hole properties. The waveforms are corrected for the center of mass drifting and are extrapolated to future null infinity. As an application of this waveform catalog we reanalyze all of the peak radiation and remnant properties to find new, simple, correlations among them, valid in the presence of eccentricity, for practical astrophysical usage.
