Black Hole - Neutron Star Binary Mergers: The Impact of Stellar Compactness
Bing-Jyun Tsao, Bhavesh Khamesra, Miguel Gracia-Linares +1
Recent gravitational wave observations include possible detections of black hole - neutron star binary mergers. As with binary black hole mergers, numerical simulations help charac…
Inside the Final Black Hole: Puncture and Trapped Surface Dynamics
Christopher Evans, Deborah Ferguson, Bhavesh Khamesra +2
A popular approach in numerical simulations of black hole binaries is to model black holes as punctures in the fabric of spacetime. The location and the properties of the black hol…
Coping with Junk Radiation in Binary Black Hole Simulations
Kenny Higginbotham, Bhavesh Khamesra, Jame P. McInerney +3
Spurious junk radiation in the initial data for binary black hole numerical simulations has been an issue of concern. The radiation affects the masses and spins of the black holes,…
A Precessing Numerical Relativity Waveform Surrogate Model for Binary Black Holes: A Gaussian Process Regression Approach
Daniel Williams, Ik Siong Heng, Jonathan Gair +2
Gravitational wave astrophysics relies heavily on the use of matched filtering both to detect signals in noisy data from detectors, and to perform parameter estimation on those sig…
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…
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…
