On the accuracy and precision of numerical waveforms: Effect of waveform extraction methodology

Tony Chu, Heather Fong, Prayush Kumar +6

We present a new set of 95 numerical relativity simulations of non-precessing binary black holes (BBHs). The simulations sample comprehensively both black-hole spins up to spin mag…

Gravitational waveforms for neutron star binaries from binary black hole simulations

Kevin Barkett, Mark A. Scheel, Roland Haas +9

Gravitational waves from binary neutron star (BNS) and black hole/neutron star (BHNS) inspirals are primary sources for detection by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational…

Binary Neutron Stars with Arbitrary Spins in Numerical Relativity

Nick Tacik, Francois Foucart, Harald P. Pfeiffer +8

We present a code to construct initial data for binary neutron star systems in which the stars are rotating. Our code, based on a formalism developed by Tichy, allows for arbitrary…

Accuracy and precision of gravitational-wave models of inspiraling neutron star -- black hole binaries with spin: comparison with numerical relativity in the low-frequency regime

Prayush Kumar, Kevin Barkett, Swetha Bhagwat +5

Coalescing binaries of neutron stars (NS) and black holes (BH) are one of the most important sources of gravitational waves for the upcoming network of ground based detectors. Dete…

Numerical relativity reaching into post-Newtonian territory: a compact-object binary simulation spanning 350 gravitational-wave cycles

Bela Szilagyi, Jonathan Blackman, Alessandra Buonanno +6

We present the first numerical-relativity simulation of a compact-object binary whose gravitational waveform is long enough to cover the entire frequency band of advanced gravitati…

Comparing Post-Newtonian and Numerical-Relativity Precession Dynamics

Serguei Ossokine, Michael Boyle, Lawrence E. Kidder +3

Binary black-hole systems are expected to be important sources of gravitational waves for upcoming gravitational-wave detectors. If the spins are not colinear with each other or wi…

Fast and accurate prediction of numerical relativity waveforms from binary black hole coalescences using surrogate models

Jonathan Blackman, Scott E. Field, Chad R. Galley +4

Simulating a binary black hole (BBH) coalescence by solving Einstein's equations is computationally expensive, requiring days to months of supercomputing time. Using reduced order…
