Comparison of Post-Newtonian and Numerical Evolutions of Black-Hole Binaries

Hiroyuki Nakano, Manuela Campanelli, Carlos O. Lousto +1

In this paper, we compare the waveforms from the post-Newtonian (PN) approach with the numerical simulations of generic black-hole binaries which have mass ratio $q\sim 0.8$, arbitr…
