An improved effective-one-body model of spinning, nonprecessing binary black holes for the era of gravitational-wave astrophysics with advanced detectors

Alejandro Bohé, Lijing Shao, Andrea Taracchini +17

We improve the accuracy of the effective-one-body (EOB) waveforms that were employed during the first observing run of Advanced LIGO for binaries of spinning, nonprecessing black h…

Complete waveform model for compact binaries on eccentric orbits

E. A. Huerta, Prayush Kumar, Bhanu Agarwal +11

We present a time domain waveform model that describes the inspiral-merger-ringdown (IMR) of compact binary systems whose components are non-spinning, and which evolve on orbits wi…

Initial data for black hole-neutron star binaries, with rotating stars

Nick Tacik, Francois Foucart, Harald P. Pfeiffer +4

The coalescence of a neutron star with a black hole is a primary science target of ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Constraining or measuring the neutron star spin direct…

Modeling the source of GW150914 with targeted numerical-relativity simulations

Geoffrey Lovelace, Carlos O. Lousto, James Healy +11

In fall of 2015, the two LIGO detectors measured the gravitational wave signal GW150914, which originated from a pair of merging black holes. In the final 0.2 seconds (about 8 grav…

Simulations of inspiraling and merging double neutron stars using the Spectral Einstein Code

Roland Haas, Christian D. Ott, Bela Szilagyi +11

We present results on the inspiral, merger, and post-merger evolution of a neutron star - neutron star (NSNS) system. Our results are obtained using the hybrid pseudospectral-finit…

Effects of neutron-star dynamic tides on gravitational waveforms within the effective-one-body approach

Tanja Hinderer, Andrea Taracchini, Francois Foucart +11

Extracting the unique information on ultradense nuclear matter from the gravitational waves emitted by merging, neutron-star binaries requires robust theoretical models of the sign…
