Surrogate model of hybridized numerical relativity binary black hole waveforms
Vijay Varma, Scott E. Field, Mark A. Scheel +3
Numerical relativity (NR) simulations provide the most accurate binary black hole gravitational waveforms, but are prohibitively expensive for applications such as parameter estima…
The binary black hole explorer: on-the-fly visualizations of precessing binary black holes
Vijay Varma, Leo C. Stein, Davide Gerosa
Binary black hole mergers are of great interest to the astrophysics community, not least because of their promise to test general relativity in the highly dynamic, strong field reg…
High-accuracy mass, spin, and recoil predictions of generic black-hole merger remnants
Vijay Varma, Davide Gerosa, Leo C. Stein +2
We present accurate fits for the remnant properties of generically precessing binary black holes, trained on large banks of numerical-relativity simulations. We use Gaussian proces…
Comparison of binary black hole initial data sets
Vijay Varma, Mark A. Scheel, Harald P. Pfeiffer
We present improvements to construction of binary black hole initial data used in SpEC (the Spectral Einstein Code). We introduce new boundary conditions for the extended conformal…
Constructing a boosted, spinning black hole in the damped harmonic gauge
Vijay Varma, Mark A. Scheel
The damped harmonic gauge is important for numerical relativity computations based on the generalized harmonic formulation of Einstein's equations, and is used to reduce coordinate…
