The Next Generation Global Gravitational Wave Observatory: The Science Book
Vicky Kalogera, B. S. Sathyaprakash, Matthew Bailes +88
The next generation of ground-based gravitational-wave detectors will observe coalescences of black holes and neutron stars throughout the cosmos, thousands of them with exceptiona…
Universal features of gravitational waves emitted by superkick binary black hole systems
Sizheng Ma, Matthew Giesler, Vijay Varma +2
We use numerical relativity to study the merger and ringdown stages of "superkick" binary black hole systems (those with equal mass and anti-parallel spins). We find a universal wa…
Measuring the spins of heavy binary black holes
Sylvia Biscoveanu, Maximiliano Isi, Vijay Varma +1
An accurate and precise measurement of the spins of individual merging black holes is required to understand their origin. While previous studies have indicated that most of the sp…
Extending superposed harmonic initial data to higher spin
Sizheng Ma, Matthew Giesler, Mark Scheel +1
Numerical simulations of binary black holes are accompanied by an initial spurious burst of gravitational radiation (called `junk radiation') caused by a failure of the initial dat…
Eccentric binary black hole surrogate models for the gravitational waveform and remnant properties: comparable mass, nonspinning case
Tousif Islam, Vijay Varma, Jackie Lodman +6
We develop new strategies to build numerical relativity surrogate models for eccentric binary black hole systems, which are expected to play an increasingly important role in curre…
