The Direct Wave is Not a Meaningful Test of Horizon Properties

Anuj Kankani, Sean T. McWilliams

Recently, a distinct non--quasinormal mode component of black hole binary merger radiation, named the direct wave, has been identified. The frequency and damping time of the direct…

Direct Waves in Black-Hole Binary Mergers: Insights from the Backwards One Body Model

Anuj Kankani, Sean T. McWilliams

The merger-ringdown radiation from a black hole binary merger is accurately modeled by a sum of linear quasinormal modes (QNMs). Recently, the ``direct wave" component of the radia…

BOB the (Waveform) Builder: Analyzing Analytical Black-Hole Binary Merger Waveforms with the Backwards One Body Formalism

Anuj Kankani, Sean T. McWilliams

The Backwards-One-Body (BOB) model provides a fully analytical and physically motivated description of the merger-ringdown gravitational radiation emanating from a black hole binar…

Testing the Boundary-to-Bound Correspondence with Numerical Relativity

Anuj Kankani, Sean T. McWilliams

The Boundary-to-Bound (B2B) correspondence, which connects orbital and radiative observables between bound and unbound orbits, has recently been introduced and demonstrated in the…

Optimization and benchmarking of the thermal cycling algorithm

Amin Barzegar, Anuj Kankani, Salvatore Mandrà +1

Optimization plays a significant role in many areas of science and technology. Most of the industrial optimization problems have inordinately complex structures that render finding…
