Impact of subdominant modes on the interpretation of gravitational-wave signals from heavy binary black hole systems
Feroz H. Shaik, Jacob Lange, Scott E. Field +5
Over the past year, a handful of new gravitational wave models have been developed to include multiple harmonic modes thereby enabling for the first time fully Bayesian inference s…
A Surrogate Model for Gravitational Wave Signals from Comparable- to Large- Mass-Ratio Black Hole Binaries
Nur E. M. Rifat, Scott E. Field, Gaurav Khanna +1
Gravitational wave signals from compact astrophysical sources such as those observed by LIGO and Virgo require a high-accuracy, theory-based waveform model for the analysis of the…
Surrogate models for precessing binary black hole simulations with unequal masses
Vijay Varma, Scott E. Field, Mark A. Scheel +5
Only numerical relativity simulations can capture the full complexities of binary black hole mergers. These simulations, however, are prohibitively expensive for direct data analys…
The SXS Collaboration catalog of binary black hole simulations
Michael Boyle, Daniel Hemberger, Dante A. B. Iozzo +37
Accurate models of gravitational waves from merging black holes are necessary for detectors to observe as many events as possible while extracting the maximum science. Near the tim…
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…
